The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 34

Jia Zhu is not yet 30 years old. Although he is definitely not a child at this age, at least in terms of official affairs, he is still a complete newcomer.

Don't say that he is a son of an aristocratic family and should be well-informed. You must know that Jia Zheng's biological father is the Duke of the State, and his official career is still not going well. It can be seen that this is not the case.What's more, when Jia Daishan passed away, Jia Zhu was still young, and when he grew up, there were almost only visitors from this side of the Rongguo Mansion. Considering that Jia Zhu rarely saw nobles since he was sensible, he was in vain now. After being so frightened for a while, he couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart.

However, there are many things here that cannot be shared with family members, and Jia Zhu can only keep them in his heart silently.

This psychological fluctuation will inevitably directly affect the physical health. Although Jia Zhu did not have the courage to pretend to be ill and hide from trouble immediately after being asked about a sensitive topic, his physical condition is limited after all. He managed to maintain a calm state for a few days, but it was because he was worried about something in his heart, and he fell ill within a few days.

In fact, Jia Zhu is not seriously ill this time. At most, he accidentally caught a cold when the season changed. The places are different, and many of the people who meet Jia Zhu every day are senior elders, and the cabinet officials often have the opportunity to face the saints. Under such circumstances, no one dares to take the disease Ya.Left and right Jia Zhu is just a seventh-rank secretary in the cabinet, so it's okay to be absent for a while, but Shangfeng took the initiative to give Jia Zhu a sick leave, allowing him to recuperate at home for a while.

It just happened to allow Jia Zhu to temporarily avoid the limelight, and also avoided the climax of certain developments.

In fact, the Lichu matter has been in trouble since the beginning of the year. After all, strictly speaking, the first crown prince was born at the end of last year.It's just that most of the people who made a fuss about establishing the crown prince at the beginning belonged to the first prince's faction, because the first prince was credited with saving him when the first prince forced the palace.

However, during the Chinese New Year seal pen, I really saved a lot of things, so the Holy Majesty was really busy for a long time after he issued the decree of abolishing the crown prince, but kept the matter of setting up another crown prince in the middle of the day.

The Holy Majesty claims to be in good health, so naturally he is not in a hurry, but if the Holy Majesty is not in a hurry, there are always people who are anxious about this matter. For example, the Zhen family is very eager to add fire, and they are not low-key at all. A kind of intimidation...

If it is said that the Holy Majesty is ignorant of this matter, then it would be too small to underestimate the ability of the Holy Majesty Yuyu who has ascended the pole for decades.Even though the Holy Majesty has always been very fond of the Zhen family, after knowing this, it is inevitable that he has some opinions on the Zhen family, and at the same time, he is also somewhat disappointed with his eldest son, Tu Mingyan.

To be honest, because Tu Mingye himself has already been labeled as the too distinct Zhen family, and the Zhen family's power is not small, so in fact, for the sake of the country, the Holy One is not willing to let Tu Mingye be on board. For the crown prince, especially when he finds out that Tu Mingyan is as confident as the Zhen family.

Originally, the Zhen family was not very powerful, if not for this, the old lady of the Zhen family would not have entered the palace to be a wet nurse for the Holy Majesty who was not favored at all at that time.It's just that the fate of the Zhen family is actually quite good. First, Zhen Yingjia became an official through the imperial examination, then the Holy Majesty ascended the throne and gained power, and the old lady of the Holy Admiral Zhen was selected as a concubine in the palace. The Zhen family gradually gained power, and even surpassed the names of the four major families in Jinling in the Jiangnan generation.

But even though the Zhen family was able to cover the sky with one hand in the south, there was still a fatal shortcoming - although Zhen Yingjia's official position was not low and she was in the heart of the emperor, she had always been a foreign official.

This also means that even if the Zhen family has property and power, it can at most be called a generation of feudal officials. To be honest, there is still a big difference from the real power in the government. At least there are many Beijing officials and even Many foreign officials who do not serve in Jiangnan may not give the Zhen family face.

The Zhen family can persuade the officials in the Jiangnan area to write a letter to plead for Tu Ming's life, but if most of the capital officials write a letter for the eldest prince, then it is really for the sake of the eldest prince, in other words, it is for the benefit of the emperor. merit.

Rao is that I don't have a second suitable candidate besides Tu Mingye, but the Holy One is still unwilling to give in.

Therefore, when the Holy Majesty decided to bury the deposed prince in the imperial mausoleum and choose a posthumous title, the line of the first prince almost couldn't sit still.

The eldest prince is only a few months older than the deposed prince, but one has been loved by thousands since he was a child, and although the other is quite favored, he will never be able to compare with his younger brother... Counting the conflicts between the two brothers It didn't happen when I was a child, and it wasn't just a battle for storage when I grew up.

If it is only for the dispute over the reserve position, after the deposed prince has clearly suffered a crushing defeat, any smart person should know that he should never continue to add insult to injury at such a time—to seek a little posthumous glory for the deposed prince or to take care of the deposed prince. Children are more likely to arouse the favor of the Holy One than anything else.

You know, Jufan's parents are always worried that his brother will cross the wall after his death. If his successor can't even tolerate his brother who has passed away, how can he be expected to tolerate other brothers.

Piantu Mingyi had been at odds with the deposed prince since he was a child, and when the Holy One had already begun to choose a posthumous title for him, he directly wrote a letter, stating that Mingtu clearly committed a heinous crime of rebelling and forcing the palace, and that he should be expelled from the clan and demoted to a commoner.

This may not be because Tu Mingyan is really stupid. Although he is better at martial arts, he was also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics when he was young, and it is not that he is completely ignorant of history books.This is actually just because he and Tu Mingxi have been used to arguing since childhood, and they instinctively dislike each other.If it is clear that he passed away naturally due to other reasons, that's all. Now that the other party committed suicide and was abolished because of forcing the palace to rebel, then why can he be buried in the imperial tomb with sacrifices?

So Tu Mingyan, who was dazzled by anger, wrote the book as a matter of course.

You must know that the youngest son of Concubine Zhen, the tenth prince of the same mother as Tu Mingyi, had an accident during this turmoil. Naturally, she didn't feel that this was her own problem, and only blamed Tu Mingxi for all her mistakes.

For Tu Mingxi, Tu Mingxi was not only his deadly enemy, but also the direct murderer who killed his younger brother, so naturally he should be cut into pieces and unforgivable.But for the Holy Majesty, Apostle Mingxi is the most beloved son he taught by himself. Even if he did something wrong this time, he paid the price for it. I don’t blame Apostle Mingxi. Blame him.

The Holy Majesty, who felt extremely aggrieved by the recent events, immediately found an outlet, and a series of charges of unfilial piety and disrespect were directly thrown on Tu Mingyi's head, and even Tu Mingxi's crime of forcing the palace was also blamed by the Holy Majesty. I think it was planned by Tu Mingyi.

——Sincerely, it can’t be said that you don’t wrong people.

But it’s useless to feel wronged. Although the Holy Majesty said it just in a moment of anger and impulsiveness, since Jinkouyuyan has said this, it is a certainty. No one can point to the Holy Majesty and say that he actually did something wrong. Understand.

As a result, the eldest prince, Tu Mingyu, who was originally very beautiful, was directly imprisoned by the Holy Majesty, and fell into the mud from the clouds.

Although many officials were coerced and lured by the Zhen family or the eldest prince when the officials wrote a letter to propose the appointment of the eldest prince as the crown prince, but it is also undeniable that the eldest prince really seized the crown prince at that time. A popular candidate, even the best candidate.

Among the more than a dozen princes of the Holy Lord, except for some who did not stand up and disappeared early, the rest died when the prince was abolished and forced the palace, three were abolished and two were abolished. The eldest prince turned out to be only the eldest prince and the eighth prince left.

The eldest prince is not only powerful, but also occupies the position of the eldest son.Although the eighth prince is the successor's son, he has suffered from a congenital disease since he was a child. Unless there is no one to choose, the officials will not support a prince with a congenital disease anyway.

And this time even the First Prince was abolished... This was really beyond everyone's expectations.

You know, apart from the eighth prince, the oldest among the remaining princes is the twelfth prince who married Yuanchun. Leaving aside the unspeakable marriage of the twelve prince, he is not yet twenty. The rest of them are even younger, and they haven't even had a big wedding yet.

The so-called Guo Lai Changjun, the Holy One is now over 50 years old, who knows how many days he has to live.Although His Majesty's current body looks pretty good, after all, what happened successively in this year has had a considerable impact on him. At least the imperial physician has almost advised His Majesty to rest.

And the first few princes seem to be broken now, and the remaining [-] princes are still young, and because there are many capable brothers above them, they have never been able to get ahead. The ones raised on weekdays are not too different from the quails - I didn't see it, no matter how dissatisfied with this marriage with Yuan Chun, the twelve princes only dare to put on face in their own room, and even have the courage to lose their temper nothing.

The Holy Majesty obviously made the will in anger, and the Holy Majesty also really realized that the matter of being the crown prince was not in a hurry, and after Tu Mingyan was really imprisoned, the Holy Majesty finally realized that he seemed to be facing a sudden crisis. A situation where no one can choose...

The author has something to say:
