"Don't be nervous!" Rong Suihe saw his embarrassment, smiled, and softened his tone and said, "In fact, I have already spoken out about that matter just now, otherwise I don't intend to pass on the throne to the emperor after a long life. The prince, however, wants to let him ascend the throne once he is able to govern personally, while my aunt and I will concentrate on taking care of ourselves!"
After saying this, he paused and glared at Rong Juan with hatred, "As for the prince, I have seen Lingzhan! Even if he comes to the east and changes his ways, I can't rest assured to let him live." He presides over such a large dynasty! The so-called brothers who fight tigers, father and son are soldiers in the battle, why would you like me to come to the court to assist him... If my father, princess and concubine are willing, the whole family can come back, but I don’t know what I think how?"
Rong Lingzhan was surprised when he heard the words, and said first: "Your Majesty, my minister Ziren is stupid, how can he help the prince? Besides, the prince is smart and clever, he has inherited famous teachers since he was a child, and he has many ministers from the previous dynasty to protect him. How can he help the prince?" Do you want me to comment?"
He added, "My father and mother, Ru Ming, are not adapting to their lives in the fiefdom. They have not mentioned Chang'an for a long time."
Rong Suihe smiled: "Good boy, Ziren, where I studied, was originally with the prince. I know that best. After all, I had a lot of involvement in my enlightenment. I am my nephew, the prince. My direct cousin, our Rong family, Ru Ming, doesn’t have many descendants. I sincerely hope that I can help the prince, but I don’t mean to doubt me... To be honest, my child Ru Ming is also very unqualified. Make me suspicious."
"I will be twenty-five next year, in the prime of life, come from a royal family, and be the son of the emperor's brother. Am I willing to waste my whole life in a fiefdom?"
Seeing that Rong Lingzhan was pleading for something to say, Emperor Zhenqing raised his leg and said pleasantly, "In that case, I left Chang'an when I was young, and Ruming had just returned. Suddenly I heard about such a thing, and I was excited and at a loss for a moment. , maybe there is one. How about that, I will go around with the prince and have a look, and then give me an answer in two months, okay?"
He said so, how dare Rong Lingzhan not agree
After all, Prince Gaomi is no longer the impulsive child he once was. He knows that even though his uncle made him laugh at him at that time, once Long Yan is angered, Dongchang will know without asking... He will not be afraid of death, either. It’s time to think about the Gaomi Palace behind him, his married wife, and their three young children.
"Could it be that Bi Dong planned to let him and the prince have a relationship in those few months, and then he had to agree?" It must be said that although Rong Lingzhan's Ziren is good, can Rong Qingzhu decide whether the fiefdom was in those years? Because the couple was tired of the turbulent fight in Chang'an that year, they never mentioned the government affairs. After all, such a growing environment did not affect him.
So Rong Lingzhan thought at that moment, "How can that be done? Even if he and the prince are direct cousins and haven't seen each other for many years, how can he be willing to go there for him if he only spends so many days and is in pain?" The truth about muddy water?!”
Dangdong thought that if he kept Rong Juan off for a few months, he would politely refuse Rong Suihe.
Unexpectedly, I was arranged to stay in the Gaomi Palace that had been repaired and tidied up in advance that night, and then I went to sleep in the east. Someone from the east came to report, saying whether a senior official came to ask for an audience, claiming to be an old acquaintance with the emperor.
Rong Lingzhan knew that his father was deeply favored by the late Emperor Tai Zai. He had failed to seek permission for Tai Zai Huang back then, so the throne was passed on to his father and son no matter what, instead of to the more talented Emperor Zhenqing. .
At this moment, my heart moved when I heard this, and I said: "Ask him to go to the Little Flower Hall and shut up!"
After saying that, I thought about the fact that the Tai had been in the imperial capital for many years and was not too young when he died. After Emperor Zhenqing came to power, he had to clean up the palace and harem before he could be shaken inside and outside. From now on, outsiders will be able to enforce orders and prohibitions and become recognized as the king.
So even if some of the emperor's confidants are still alive and living in Donglai... it is very possible that he can continue to hold high positions. If he is well-informed, he will know that he is coming, and he will be able to find him at the door that night
Maybe, is this actually a temptation from Emperor Zhenqing
Rong Lingzhan hesitated a little when he thought about it.
Do you think that your family has done nothing wrong in the fiefdom over the years? With Rong Suihe's status and control over the imperial power, there is no need to frame your family in order to deal with it. At that time, even if the visitor was unkind, he would be careful and deal with it, so there wouldn't be any trouble.
But if this person really has an old relationship with the Queen, it would be good if he could give me a few words of advice.
After all, whether the family of the Gaomi Palace has been mentally prepared for generations, at least in recent generations, they have not paid much attention to the affairs of Chang'an in those years.
Suddenly he was called over, and he didn't know anything about it. He said he didn't feel any uneasiness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, time is urgent. I won't go into details and will just tell you." Rong Lingzhan thought about it, changed his clothes and went to the small flower hall.
As soon as I entered, I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a middle-ranking official. His appearance was ordinary, the kind that you wouldn't find in a crowd. The only thing that made him identifiable was his slightly fat figure. He was standing on the bottom with a slight bow. Seeing Rong Lingzhan coming in, he stepped forward and bowed. Finally, without waiting for Rong Lingzhan to say anything, he said to himself: "Slave, are you the adopted son of Duke Yuan of Wei who was left by Emperor Xiaozong to the Supreme Emperor? His adopted father has been around for a long time." A few years ago, I retired to my hometown because of my age. Before I left, I left a message, asking me to take care of the Gaomi King lineage, so as to fulfill the promise made by my adoptive father to Emperor Xiaozong, Bidong!"
"So when I heard that you were coming, I hurriedly came to meet you!"
"Your Majesty, does he know the reason why Bidong suddenly summoned you to Chang'an?"
Rong Lingzhan was a little stunned by his sudden words. After a moment, he said: "Bidong said that he plans to wait until the prince is able to take charge of the government, then pass on the throne to the prince, and focus on taking care of his old age together with the queen?"
The lieutenant-general said: "Then how does the prince plan to reply?"
"He Ziren is stupid..." Rong Lingzhan started to speak, but the lieutenant, who was already confused, interrupted: "Your Majesty! Excuse me, Your Majesty, your Majesty. Your Majesty is planning to pass on the throne to the Crown Prince. Why did you ask to be summoned to Chang'an? "
Rong Lingzhan said: "Bidong himself said that we are brothers who fight tigers."
The lieutenant-general sighed and said: "But there are many ministers in the court who can assist the prince. I will tell you the truth: Compared with you, the prince, who is a cousin to the prince but has never gotten along with him, Bidong is definitely wrong." I trust the important ministers who followed him to fight in the sea of blood and corpses!"
"He was also feeling strange about that matter." Rong Lingzhan hesitated before speaking out, "He also said that to Bidong at the time. Did Bidong say about bloodline..."
The middle official seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not true that this slave slanders the Holy One... That's right, do you believe that?"
Rong Lingzhan was silent.
Although the Zhongguan's words seemed to lack respect for Rong Suihe, Rong Lingzhan did not dare to say anything disrespectful to Rong Suihe before thoroughly confirming his position.
Of course, he very much agreed with the lieutenant's words in his heart, but he simply didn't believe that Rong Suihe misplaced his emphasis on blood ties.
That point can be seen from the fact that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have their only sister. Emperor Zhenqing didn't even care about his only sister, his father and mother, let alone others
Therefore, why did Rong Suihe come to Chang'an on his own, or even if it was better for the entire Gaomi Palace to return to Chang'an to "assist" Rong Juan
"The problem is not that Your Majesty wants to pass the throne to the Prince's Palace in advance." The lieutenant paused, and seeing that he didn't wake up, he sighed secretly and said, "The Prince's Palace... How should I put it? In fact, he is not very good. Yes, compared to Bidong's amazing talent back then, it was somewhat lacking. Therefore, even though Bidong took the time to train himself every month in the past two years, how could he not have doubts in his heart as to whether the prince's palace master could be able to choose Can you afford the burden of Jiangshan?"
"Although after His Majesty passes the throne, he will be the East of the Prince's Palace..."
The Zhongguan pondered for a moment before continuing, "However, Tiandong has finally come to peace in the East. Bidong has always protected Li Shu ruthlessly, and he doesn't want any trouble to arise."
"The late Emperor had no children. The current Emperor Xiaozong, His Majesty, only has three princes."
"Like your Majesty Ming, your descendants are no longer prosperous."
"The second prince is the crown prince's half-brother. Bidong and the empress will definitely not suspect that he will harm the prince."
"Other than that, the people who are closest to the bloodline of Prince Diandong are your brothers and the only grandson of King Guangling who came from the East!"
"So, Your Majesty, do you want to refuse to return to Chang'an?"
