The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 88

Sometimes, the person who knows a person best may not be himself, but his enemy.

In this case, it is particularly obvious between the crown prince and the eldest prince.

The prince was a bystander who clearly noticed the subtle difference in the attitude of the Holy Majesty, and then became more calm and calm after being relieved in vain.Although the First Prince was not stupid, it was inevitable that the authorities were a little confused. In the end, it was only from the Prince's unusual attitude that he slowly noticed the change of the Holy Majesty's mind.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the situation in the court is always changing rapidly, so the order of observation and observation is naturally extremely important. Even if Tu Mingye only found out the direction of the wind a day or two later than his brother, it is already a little late.

This is really not good news for him.

Just like the prince has always advertised that the reason why he and the eldest prince are incompatible is because the eldest prince is too ambitious - as the crown prince who has been canonized and the only son of the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, if he can't become that master in the end, There can be no second end other than doom, so naturally one has to fight back, which always sounds reasonable.

But on the side of the First Prince, the reason why he and the Prince had completely torn skins was because he had no way out.

Concubine Zhen used her status as a concubine and favored concubine to rush to give birth to the eldest son in front of the empress of the main palace. There was a meaning of competition. If she was said to be unambitious, she would not be able to deceive anyone. In addition, the Zhen family had enjoyed enough before. From the sense of accomplishment of the dragon's work, the desire is hard to fill, so he is thinking about the next time.

The Holy Majesty was only raised by the old lady of the Zhen family. After he took the throne, he took care of the Zhen family in this way, making the Zhen family leap from an inconspicuous mud-legged family to a new and important minister of the dynasty. This span is really not insignificant.But a nanny can bring such benefits, and if the person sitting on top is her own grandson, the Zhen family will be more honored.

Although Zhen Yingjia and Jia Zheng from the Rongguo Mansion have very different prospects and abilities, they still have some similarities to a certain extent. No matter what it is, it is not a difficult thing to notice.Although the Holy Majesty is a eccentric person, he is still a wise king. Even if he is willing to promote the Zhen family for the sake of the old lady of the Zhen family, he will not give the Zhen family any rights they cannot afford. At most, he will only let Zhen Yingjia take care of him It was a lucrative position, but he would never really entrust it with important responsibilities, let alone let Zhen Yingjia return to Beijing to join the cabinet.Under such preconditions, even if the Zhen family is the local emperor in Jinling, in the eyes of many powerful people in Beijing, the Zhen family is still not a real emperor and minister, although it is certainly not possible to offend the Zhen family at will. , but there is no need to give the Zhen family too much face.

Don't you see that the Jia family has fallen into such a state of desperation now, Mrs. Wang, a fifth-rank pleasant person, can still associate with Zhen Yingjia's wife on an equal footing without any fear.Although there must be the face of the Rongguo government and Mrs. Wang's elder brother Wang Ziteng here, it has something to do with the fact that the Zhen family is a foreign minister and Jia Zheng is a Beijing official.

But if the one who sits on top is replaced by his own grandson, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to return to the capital and join the cabinet as an extreme minister...

The Zhen family is very ambitious, and they subtly cultivated the ambition of the eldest prince.

Otherwise, how could the eldest prince have such thoughts for no reason.

The crown prince was appointed crown prince when he was still in his infancy, and the eldest prince was just a suckling baby at that time. It can be said that he was doomed not to be a candidate for heir before he knew anything.If he had been honestly a prince and prince from the beginning, not even counting the Holy Majesty's preference for the Zhen family, just looking at his age advantage compared to other younger brothers, it is doomed that he will never be unknown in the future.It would be a good day if no one deliberately pushed him, but let the Holy Majesty guide him to the right path.

Who said that a powerful minister and prince is not a good prospect, the prince himself is the unquestionable son of the Yuan empress, and his background is higher than that of all his brothers, so it is impossible for him to tolerate no one from the beginning.

But who let the Zhen family instill bad thoughts in the eldest prince with ill intentions, which aroused the eldest prince's ambition.

As an illegitimate son, he already has an innate advantage in etiquette and law in terms of inheritance rights. Not to mention that the Holy Majesty has already decided on the title of crown prince, even if the Holy Majesty does not mention this matter a word, the illegitimate son has far more inheritance rights than the eldest son—— Mo It is said that the crown prince Tu Mingxi is still the only legitimate son of the Empress Yuan. Even if the eighth prince is the step-law son, if he can grow up healthy and healthy, he will be more legitimate as the heir than Tu Mingyi.

Never mind what the young Tu Mingye thought when the Zhen family waving the banner for Tu Mingye under the banner of the eldest son of the emperor at the beginning, after all, even if Tu Mingye was still ignorant, it was not that he didn't have this idea, otherwise he would have given up early. Even if one's own natal family seeks the sage or the prince to surrender, it may not be impossible to retreat.And later, as the so-called big prince's party became more and more powerful, it didn't matter whether Tu Mingye wanted to continue or not. A good courtier bows his head to the prince, and the prince may not be able to trust him.

After all, as a father, the Holy Majesty would not feel that his two sons were really intolerable to the point of life and death. As long as the prince showed a tolerant look on the surface, the Holy Majesty would believe it, but the brothers who were involved were both in their hearts. It is very clear that in the end they will definitely be kings and losers, there is absolutely no possibility of harmony at all, and those who fail to stand on the top position will only have a dead end.

The crown prince has a family background and a reputation, so he is born with a lot of advantages over the eldest prince. The identity of the son of the eldest son is an important sign.However, the eldest prince is able to pull up such a huge power now, but it is only because of the magnanimity of the Holy Grace and the Zhen family. I just got it.

Under such circumstances, there is no room for the eldest prince not to worry.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if he loses the favor of the Holy One, Tu Ming may fall to the point of eternal doom at any time.

----split line----

When you realize that you are about to lose everything and become nothing, taking a risk becomes a logical choice.This kind of choice is human instinct. Unless there are 12 rational people, they will always follow their own instincts when they feel a crisis.

For example, Tu Mingyan today.

It was not too early for Tu Mingyu to realize that he was falling out of favor, not to mention that the Holy Majesty's will had been set to an irreversible level, even the crown prince had changed his attitude one step ahead of him.

During this period of time, the prince began to become extraordinarily stable because of his peace of mind, and it was almost impossible for people to find any flaws in the attack. He also pretended to be a brother and friend, and succeeded in making the Holy Majesty completely relieved.On the other hand, many people around him had already keenly noticed the changes in the situation, and their attitudes began to become somewhat ambiguous. This kind of ebb and flow could not help but make him anxious.

Still the same sentence, even for the emperor and nobles, status is also a very important thing.

If it is said that a prince who has lost his sacred heart may still be able to win a chance for himself by relying on the support of courtiers, public opinion and the name of righteousness, even if he lives a little more cautiously, there is still a good chance of getting ahead if the Holy One does not deliberately target him. Not small.But for an ordinary prince who only lives by the Sacred Heart, if he is ignored by the Holy One, it is undoubtedly equivalent to blocking most of his future. Even for Tu Mingye, it is very likely that he will lose not only his future but also his own past. have everything.

Under such a crisis, to Tu Mingyan, whether to simply accept his fate and fight for it or fight for it with all his might, is not a choice at all for Tu Mingyan, but a matter of course.

It is due to Tu Mingyan's nature, but he has never been a very law-abiding person. In addition, as the eldest son of the emperor in the past few decades, he has been praised a bit by people, and he doesn't even have much calmness left as the most important prince contending for the heir. , As soon as his head got hot, he connected many people in his own party, and made a mighty decision to attack the prince and even the saint.

In other words, to put it more simply, it means rebelling against the palace.

The eldest prince's party led by Tu Mingye has been able to stand against the justifiable crown prince for many years, so he knows that this is by no means a small force, with many people and different people's hearts, and there will be infinite variables every day. Tu Mingye also knows that In this way, he simply cut the mess with a sharp knife and moved his hands quickly.In this way, even though some of the more sensitive people around him have started to retreat because they noticed the change in the attitude of the Holy One, who would have thought that Tu Mingyan's movements were too fast, almost as if he had just realized something was wrong. It started to move within a day or two.If you can't even surrender and go ashore, you will be implicated.

On such a big event, the preparation time is too short. In this case, there are actually advantages and disadvantages.The disadvantage is that it is bound to face the problem of insufficient preparation, and the chance of success will naturally be greatly discounted.But at the same time, under the premise that Tu Mingye was about to lose power, this sudden attack did not at least give his opponents time to discover the clues, and even those who planned to disembark did not have time to do anything to get out in time. Greatly reduces the chance of being betrayed.Even if he was really rebellious, at least he succeeded in dragging many people onto the pirate ship.

Of course, it is not known how much effort those people who were forced to drag into the water really put in.

As for the final result... Originally, the prince Tu Mingming, who was stronger than the eldest prince in every aspect of Duke Cao's works, failed after careful calculations in every possible way, but now Tu Mingyi's dying struggle naturally failed without any suspense. , even a splash failed to stir up.
