While Rong Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao were having dinner here, they were also discussing this issue: "Although His Majesty did not give a definite answer today, it is obvious that the Shu sisters are already working on finalizing your adoption."
Sheng Weiqiao swallowed a spoonful of soup and said worriedly, "You said before that you didn't want to be their heirs, but judging from the eloquent favor these two sisters showed in front of the Queen Mother today... If you refuse, you will definitely offend them! "
Originally, most fastidious families nowadays had the rule of saying nothing when eating and sleeping, but Rong Suihe was born as a pirate, so naturally she was not particular about it. Although Sheng Weiqiao was an authentic lady, she was too favored and her family did not care about her rules. It's not very serious. Besides, Sheng Lanci has always been busy, and it's rare to have a meal with his wife and daughter. Naturally, he can't remain silent. He must be asking for advice and asking for food.
So the newlyweds didn't think there was anything wrong with talking about things while eating.
"How could I refuse?" Rong Suihe just smiled when he heard this. He peeled a large shrimp for her with his own hands and watched her eat it obediently before explaining in a good mood, "You saw it just now, Zhaoyi just said something, and the Queen Mother stopped her anxiously. When the news came out, both the Meng family and our good father must be gathering their staff at this moment and racking their brains to discuss Here’s the countermeasure!”
"It is said that two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Although the Shu sisters are very fond of me, it is not that easy to adopt me despite the obstruction of so many people!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at his calm look and said disapprovingly: "You can't take it lightly just because you know someone will stop this for you! Don't forget that even the Queen Mother can't argue with the Shu sisters in front of Your Majesty, regardless of the father. It's still the Meng family, and they don't dare to completely offend the two sisters... Maybe they finally withstood the pressure and persuaded His Majesty to issue an edict to fulfill this matter? Don't you want to resist the edict? "
Rong Suihe smiled, gave her some hot and sour bamboo shoot tips with chopsticks, and then said: "My dear girl, have you ever thought that His Majesty has always doted on the Shu sisters, why didn't you make it clear in front of the Queen Mother today?"
"The Queen Mother is your Majesty's biological mother after all..." Sheng Weiqiao was interrupted by him with a smile before he could finish his words: "If Your Majesty regards your biological mother as more important than Ershu, Ershu can still be so flamboyant in Xinshou Palace. ?”
Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "What do you mean...?"
"It should be that the Shu sisters have already made an agreement with Your Majesty not to make a clear statement in Xinshou Palace today!" Rong Suihe said calmly, "Just watch, at this moment, the Gaomi Palace and the Meng Family The counselors around me must be discussing how to get me out of Chang'an!"
He looked at his princess with a smile, "As the saying goes, husbands sing, wives follow, and girls are good, we won't be staying in this prosperous city of Chang'an for a long time. If you feel regretful, quickly make a list of all the places you want to go, I'm fine Before we set off, I’ll take you to have more fun and eat more. If I miss it, I’m afraid it will take some time before we can come back!”
Sheng Weiqiao didn't have the time to think about the things to play and eat at the moment, and asked doubtfully: "You mean, the counselors from the palace and the Meng family will join forces to support you because the Shu sisters have made it clear that they will adopt you into their laps." Open? Where would that take you?"
"Where else can we let him go?" At this moment, in Zheng Guogong's palace, Wu Anhou sneered to himself, "The thoughts of those two bitches are clear at a glance, don't they just hope that the boy will take over some military power, so that when he is actually adopted as the heir in the future, he will not There is no foundation. If His Majesty’s front foot collapses, will the back foot be abandoned?!”
Chengyang Hou frowned and said: "In the army! If that boy is just a so-called number one scholar, it would be enough to send him to the army. By then, not to mention other means, a single baggage can be used to capture him! But he happened to marry him. Lord Kangzhao, the county Lord's dowry is enough to raise an army. If he has the support of King Gaomi, will he really be able to accomplish something if he joins the army?"
"If you don't let him go to the army and send him to other places, how can those two bitches agree?" Marquis Wu An sighed, "The reason why those two bitches openly proposed the matter of adoption, but His Majesty did not express his position in public, It’s just to prevent that kid from being established as the crown prince. In the name of being a prince, we should not leave the imperial capital lightly and prevent that kid from having access to military power!"
"Now that the news has spread, everyone knows that the two bitches are interested in Prince Mi Zhen as their heir. Even though His Majesty did not nod, he did not say anything against it. He also praised Prince Mi Zhen... In this way, he left Chang'an , after entering the army, how can those opportunistic people not be tempted?!"
Marquis Chengyang was upset when he heard this and said: "Then let him go! No matter how favored the Shu family's bitch is, the only person who really has the power and eyes to reach the sky is just a mere palace official! Who does the Shu family behind them count? Prince Mi Zhen only wants to If he dares to leave Chang'an, he might run into some bandits and hack him and his newlywed princess to death?! At that time, we have to see what kind of flowers those two bitches can pick out. As an heir?!"
"If there was no King Gaomi, we could send dead soldiers to do this." Marquis Wu An shook his head and said, "But King Gaomi has been fighting with us for so many years, and we know each other well. Do you think he will give us such an opportunity?"
"Didn't you say that the boy had a bad relationship with the King of Gaomi?" Marquis Chengyang smacked his lips, thought for a while, and then said, "The time we made a move in the court, that boy was said to have been scolded by the King of Gaomi after he returned. Dun, for this reason, you went to the Shu family’s bitch to complain, making the Gaomi King disgraced?”
Marquis Wu'an said: "Third brother, you are so naive! Not to mention that the king of Gaomi has three sons in total. If the second son and others were abandoned, in addition to the prince, this is the youngest son who was lost and recovered. Think about it for yourself. If you are Gaomi King, can you not love him? Even if this son is a bit unruly and will be beaten and scolded again and again, how can you still seriously care whether he lives or not?!"
"Especially this son is much better than the prince in terms of talent and appearance. If our family has such a son, not to mention a biological son, even a nephew, can we do everything possible to pave the way for him?"
"Furthermore, everyone knows that the Shu family's bitch has no children. She has no choice but to adopt an heir for a hundred years."
"This is human nature. You always want your adopted child to be close to you, and don't always worry about your biological parents!"
"You think it's only been a few days since Prince Mi Zhen returned. Why did the Shu sisters decide to have him after so many years of picking and choosing? Apart from other reasons, the raging father-son feud between him and King Gaomi must also be the reason. One of the reasons that prompted the Shu sisters to make up their minds!"
"So how can you expect King Gaomi not to care about that kid's life or death?!"
"At that time, it will just be a group of dead soldiers brought in for nothing!"
Chengyang Hou pondered: "If we don't take action, how about sowing discord? For example, the prince of Gaomi is very mediocre in talent. If it weren't for the fact that the prince of Gaomi didn't have many legitimate sons, and the bastard died in the 'epidemic' that year. It's hard to say whether he can sit on the throne for so many years. If Mi Zhen grows stronger, it won't be a good thing for him! Although this person doesn't have much ability, his father-in-law Qi Jianxun is not a fuel-efficient lamp. !”
Marquis Wu An said: "Because Qi Jianxun is not stupid, he will never target Prince Mi Zhen at this time. After all, we are still here. How can Qi Jianxun be willing to blatantly rebel against others? He is against it. Mention your daughters and sons-in-law more, and serve the King of Gaomi and the princess well... In this regard, the wife of the King of Gaomi has a great advantage over the newly arrived Princess of Mi Zhen County. After all, the Qi family is well-known in Chang'an for being virtuous and filial. , according to the observation of the girls under our knees, the Princess of Mi Zhen County is an absolutely charming lady."
"But my mother's family and the Prince of Mi Zhen County are very fond of each other. The King of Gaomi and his wife don't say anything, but how can they not treat the two daughters-in-law in their hearts?"
"... Then what do you think we should do, second brother?" Marquis Chengyang was a little anxious, "Is this how the Shu family's bitch's wishes are fulfilled?! What if secret loyalty becomes a problem because of this, what will happen to such a big family like ours? manage?"
"Mizhen came back from Nanfeng County to seek marriage. Didn't he bring a group of pirates with him, saying that he had rescued the Marquis of Yichun? Seeing that they were interested in the court, he took the initiative to recruit them?" Marquis Wu'an said happily, "In that case , let’s just send him to recruit the bandits in Qihai! This is to complete the great cause that General Zhou has not completed in the past. It is not an insult to him. Those bandits have been doing business all day long. After landing, it is difficult to count on them. Farming the land honestly? He must have turned a bandit into a soldier, so this can be regarded as giving him military power, right?"
Marquis Chengyang couldn't see what was good about this idea: "The people we sent to Nanfeng County before found out that the rich and powerful families in Nanfeng County were probably connected with the pirates. The pirates said that Who knows what happened to the Marquis of Yichun who happened to be rescued? Most likely it was the three families in Nanfeng County who gave Mi Zhen the manpower. We should seize this now to get to the bottom of it. Once things go smoothly, let Mi Zhen take over. What if he really recruits those gangsters into a large army?!"
"How can you get to the bottom of things without any evidence?" Marquis Wu An shook his head, "Don't forget that Mi Zhen has not only King Gao Mi behind her, but also Shu's bitch's pillow wind to help her. Shu's bitch is just a female prostitute. Mi Zhen is also young, but King Gaomi is not like that. Since he dared to let Mi Zhen directly bring the band of pirates to Chang'an, he obviously wanted to make things right and make sure that we have no clue. Let's get to the bottom of this matter. It’s meaningless, it’s just a waste of time and energy, it’s better to just ask Mi Zhen to recruit people... Are tough bandits so easy to subdue?!”
Chengyang Hou was still worried: "What if? Although that boy is young, he almost won six yuan in a row at such a young age. Such qualifications are not comparable to ordinary people!"
"When you ask him to recruit, add one sentence: Qihai is not peaceful, and he is not allowed to go elsewhere." Zheng Guogong, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said, "It's just a stumbling block. In the final analysis, our biggest enemy today is still King Gaomi."
Chengyang Hou subconsciously said: "What if he can really pacify Qihai? After all, there are not as many bandits on the sea as General Zhou did when he purified the sea, and their strength is far inferior!"
"Third brother, you are so honest." Zheng Guogong sighed after hearing this, while Wu'an Marquis couldn't laugh or cry, "What are the dead soldiers we raise for? If Prince Mi Zhen can really kill real pirates, Once the litter is finished, can’t we give him a few examples of wildfires that can’t be burned out and spring breezes that can revive them?!”
"The most important thing now is to let the concubine give birth to a male heir." Seeing that the second brother had solved the third brother's doubts, Zheng Guogong stroked his long beard and said attentively, "Your Majesty is already old, and there is nothing you can do about the heir apparent. It’s been delayed... You guys will take care of the palace of Prince Guangling. If that doesn’t work, send two doctors there to recuperate Prince Guangling!”
Both Wu'an Marquis and Chengyang Marquis knew what this so-called "replenishing the body" meant. After hearing the words and agreeing, Chengyang Marquis said again: "Eldest brother, second brother, Shu's bitch is not a believer! Even if we can Drag Mi Zhen into Qihai so that she has no time to take care of him, but if Shu's bitch insists on calling her back, where is your majesty...?"
Zheng Guogong just said: "Right now, the Shu family wants to send people away, so let's obey them; if they want to call back later... they have to come back on their own!"
Seeing that Marquis Chengyang was still thinking deeply, he asked, "Why send Mi Zhen to recruit pirates? Because all the military commanders under King Gaomi are in northern Xinjiang, and they won't be able to take care of his son at sea. ; And what can’t happen above the vast sea?!”
Only then did Cheng Yanghou suddenly realize that the assassination still had to be carried out, but the location was changed from land to sea.
He thought for a while, suddenly thought of something, and blurted out, "By the way, eldest brother, second brother, since the Shu family's bitch won't let Your Majesty nod, so that Mi Zhen will not be able to leave Chang'an after becoming the crown prince... Then why don't we do the opposite? , how about simply letting Mi Zhen become the crown prince? In this way, he can bear the title of prince, but it is difficult for him to go out to seek military power in person. Even the forbidden army and navy in Chang'an are already in Gui Yu's hands, and we also have other forbidden troops. There are not many people who really want to win over the clan, so if His Majesty dies in the future, will that kid just be allowed to be crushed and rounded by us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Guogong and Wu Anhou looking at him speechlessly: "No matter how young Mi Zhen is, as you just said, he is a talented man who almost won six yuan! If he has the title of prince, Do you think he will sit back and wait for His Majesty's death?! That must be to try every means to weaken us with the support of King Gaomi... or to deal with us in the name of justice! By then it will be the people we have already won over, including the Forbidden Army. Inside, seeing that the country has a legitimate and talented prince, why do you continue to take risks with us? Why don't you simply sell us and go to the prince, and live a smooth life?! So how can you really let him be the prince?! "
The Forbidden Army, a place where the Rong family has been running for generations and has set up countless tricks to ensure loyalty to the emperor, has been touched by the Meng family and King Gaomi. This is not because they are so clever. In the final analysis, it is not because Emperor Xuanjing has no heirs. These people are worried about Gaomi. Wang and Meng will settle old scores after winning in the future, so they have to take sides
If Emperor Xuan Jing had an heir, or the kind of heir who wouldn't be a puppet just by looking at him, why would they follow King Gaomi or the Meng family and risk killing the nine clans
If it weren't for this reason, wouldn't the Queen Mother feel as if she was facing a formidable enemy when she heard that the Shu sisters mentioned the story of Ji Rong Sleeping Crane
Upon hearing this, Marquis Chengyang smiled awkwardly: "I'm really confused... Fortunately, my two brothers have the final say on important matters."
Duke Zheng Guo and Marquis Wu An also knew that this brother was really not good at planning. Hearing this, he nodded and said it away, and continued talking about business: "There seems to be something not right with the Queen recently. Let the girls at home pay attention!"
