In the spring of the sixth year of Yanping, the emperor and the empress had just arrived at Qingyuan Palace when they heard reports that Mrs. Yongxinghou was waiting at Yongxiang Palace.
As the queen's mother, Mrs. Zheng of Yongxinghou has the badge to enter the palace. If she wants to see her daughter, she does not need to inform her in advance, she can just enter the palace on her own.
After hearing the news, Emperor Yanping immediately picked up the memorial on the case without any sense of loyalty and said considerately: "Don't worry, Zi Tong, today's memorial has married your husband. You can be close to Lord Taishui." that is."
Sheng An laughed angrily.
After a long while of catching his breath, he saluted him with a hint of anger and a smile: "Then I will go ahead."
Hearing the Queen's rare self-promotion, Emperor Yanping felt some pain in his back molars. When his wife walked away, he quickly ordered his attendants: "Go and arrange a banquet quickly, leaving Mrs. Yongxinghou to eat in the palace."
…
When Sheng Ran walked to the door of Yongxiang Palace, she found it difficult to move forward. It was not until the palace attendant reminded her softly that she slowly exhaled and stepped in with a smile on her face.
"Mom, please forgive me!" Seeing that Zheng was about to salute, Sheng Ran quickly spoke to stop her. The people in the palace were already prepared and hurriedly supported Zheng before she could bend down.
"You all go down." Before Zheng could say anything, Sheng Ran only left a few confidants waiting outside the door, while she personally held Zheng's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mother, how many times have I told you, how can I The principle of a mother's courtesy to her daughter is fine outside, but it doesn't have to be like this in my Yongxiang Palace."
Although Mrs. Zheng was pleased with her eldest daughter's closeness, she disagreed with this statement: "Although you are the only one in the harem, you are the queen, so many people are watching you every time you move!
If we just pay back the past, who wouldn't want to keep their eyes and ears in the palace during the past two years?
The former court and the emperor have been wrestling with each other for several years because of the matter of establishing a princess. Those courtiers are eager to find fault with you, the queen, and our family. We cannot provoke them to criticize because of such trivial matters. "
Since the emperor raised the matter of crown prince in the third year of Yanping, there has been a turmoil in the court.
The courtiers were divided into several factions. Some asked the emperor not to worry, as the emperor was still young, so there was no possibility of giving birth to a son. Others asked the emperor to restart the draft, enrich the harem, and expand the branches.
The above people are looking forward to the emperor giving birth to a son, and some officials are considering the emperor's health and have the idea of adoption.
After all, the dragon's body is the most important thing. If you raise your brother's heirs under your knees, teach them well and choose from them, you may not be unable to raise a suitable heir.
Of course, the courtiers who had the idea of adopting the clan also had different opinions.
Although there is no Langjun in Emperor Jinghe's lineage who can inherit the throne, Emperor Chengyuan still has three or two grandchildren.
For example, the grandson Jiang Weixu, the posthumous son of King Zhao, born to concubine Shu, is just six years old now, which is the right age for adoption.
As for the problem of succeeding him, Prince Zhao's palace will have no one to bear the burden. It doesn't matter. When Jiang Wei continues to inherit the throne, he can choose one of his children and grandchildren to inherit the king's title.
Supporters felt that Jiang Weixu was the best candidate, but some others believed that it would be unseemly to adopt King Zhao's only son, and it would be better to choose one of King Jing's two sons to train him.
Although in the earlier succession turmoil, these two children were eliminated due to unknown reasons, but later, based on the clues found from Wenpo's family, birthmark records, royal historians and other clues, the clan government confirmed their identities as clan sons. , and Mrs. Cen also recognized them. The three of them, mother and son, have been living in Prince Jing's Mansion for several years.
The most advantageous part is that the two sons of the Lang family have no deep feelings for Prince Jing. If he succeeds to the throne in the future, there is no need to worry about him initiating a ceremonial proposal to make his biological father the emperor.
Of course, the advantages of the second son of the Lang family are clear, but the disadvantages are also very clear. They still have their identities. No one dares to say for sure whether they are really the sons of Prince Jing.
Therefore, another group of ministers proposed another choice, that is, the husband of Princess Yongping.
