If the emperor lives a long time, who will be the saddest?
Of course it’s the prince!
Assuming that the emperor lives to be eighty years old, even if the prince is born when the emperor is thirty, by the time the emperor dies, the prince will already be fifty years old!
If you don't go up until you are fifty, you may not be able to be emperor for a few years if you are short-lived.
What's more, it's very likely that he won't even survive to ascend the throne, already!
If the prince wants to inherit the throne as soon as possible, he has only one hope: the emperor dies as soon as possible!
Therefore, in order to prevent the prince from being too stable - if he is too stable, he will want to kill the emperor's father and become a great treasure as soon as possible - the emperor will find ways to support other princes and fight against the prince.
With such mutual checks and balances, one's dragon chair can be more stable.
Therefore, after the eldest prince fell, the emperor followed Concubine Lu's wishes and allowed Yan Ji to rise.
Anyway, as far as everyone knows, Yan Ji can't accomplish anything big!
However, it is a bit ridiculous to ask the prince to be responsible for Yan Ji's wedding.
"The imperial edict has been issued." When Yan Peiyu said this, the usual gentle smile on his face was gone.
His face was a little cold and he said: "When the third prince gets married, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
Ying Cailan was stunned.
There were too many possibilities for the situation in the imperial court. She couldn't think of which major event it would be, so she simply asked him directly: "Who is it about?"
The prince can't just kill the emperor, he should take over as soon as possible, right?
In that case, it would save trouble.
Didn't Yan Yi promise Yan Peiyu that Yan Peiyu should do his best, and when things were stable, he would find a way to grant Prince Kang a land to keep them away from the imperial capital?
Without waiting for Yan Peiyu to answer, she asked another question: "Yan Wang, the prince will not regret what he promised you, right?"
Yan Peiyu looked at her and couldn't help but laugh: "How much do you want to leave the Imperial Capital?"
Ying Cailan curled her lips: "Do I want to leave the Imperial Capital? I obviously want freedom from oppression, okay!"
Yan Peiyu smiled.
When talking to her, any unpleasantness flew away.
She seemed to be the pistachio in his destiny. No matter how much melancholy and worry he felt outside, there was only joy when he came back to her.
He said: "Concubine Lu was always arrogant, and she finally waited for the opportunity. Now that there is an ambitious Ying Caiyue working as a dog-headed military advisor, there is no guarantee what she will do. I think what the prince means is..."
Seeing that he paused mid-sentence, Ying Cailan pursed her lips and asked, "He doesn't want you to give Yan Ji away, does he?"
"Ha!" Yan Peiyu smiled helplessly and said: "If you don't have any plans to kill the eldest prince, how can you do it to the third prince?"
Ying Cailan thought of another possibility: "That is... the plan to defeat Yan Ji?"
Yan Peiyu said seriously: "No, the target is not the third prince, but Concubine Lu!"
Ying Cailan: "..."
There is a saying, although this Yan Yi is a bit elusive, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
But as a prince and a member of the royal family, he actually has some kind of true brotherhood?
Putting aside feelings and just talking about human nature, he is more or less kind in doing so!
Or is it that what he wants more is the reputation of a "benevolent gentleman"?
Who knows whether he will do anything behind his back!
Yan Peiyu added: "The prince means that as long as the ambitious Concubine Lu is defeated and the people behind her no longer dare to have any dissent, Yan Ji will not be afraid!"
"Then what does the prince plan to do?" Ying Cailan asked.
This prince's methods are relatively gentle.
I don't want my brother's life, I just want to fight him off.
There are not many princes this time, and the number of people is thin!
Could it be——
Whether the emperor or the prince, are they actually guarding against Prince Kang's lineage?
Even if he is a mediocre person, he cannot let the imperial power fall by the wayside, right?
If something happens to the prince himself and he has not yet given birth to a son, then——
Can Yan Xiang be brought back, or Yan Ji be promoted?
The fourth prince Yan Chu is still young, and there is the infant sixth prince, so they can be ignored!
Yan Peiyu replied: "Concubine Lu has been gaining momentum recently. In the court, the three princes' party - or should be said to be Concubine Lu's party will always refute some of the political opinions proposed by people on the prince's side."
"Then, the emperor favored them?" Ying Cailan followed the clues and came to this conclusion.
When mentioning this, Yan Peiyu looked a little cold and said: "Not bad!"
The emperor wants to cause trouble, and does things that are completely unreasonable!
If the third prince has talent and supports him, it will still be convincing to people like them who have ideals and ambitions in their hearts.
But Yan Ji...
To put it ten thousand steps back, if the crown prince fails, Yan Ji will take over.
In the future, what can a person of the Ninth Five-Year Plan who has no ability to govern the country, is neither an emperor nor a general, do while sitting on the dragon throne?
Yan Ji can't suppress anyone!
If the emperor is incompetent, the imperial power will inevitably be controlled by others.
Will the harem interfere with politics, will relatives take over the power, and will the princes be in chaos?
All of the above are possible!
The emperor only wanted to suppress the prince and prevent him from being dominant. This move he made was somewhat dangerous!
And ruthless!
Deliberately giving hope to Concubine Lu's party and then beating them to death?
Ying Cailan felt that this was fishing law enforcement in modern times!
Moreover, in order to consolidate his throne and fear that the prince would harm him, he used his other son as a shield...
Yan Ji is a bit pitiful!
Ying Cailan asked another question: "Do you think this emperor... he should be the one who prefers the prince to inherit the throne, right?"
"Yes." Yan Peiyu replied: "There is no doubt about this. Although the emperor has many suspicions and calculations in his heart, from a political point of view, he is not a fatuous emperor."
Ying Cailan nodded: "That's true. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and all industries are prosperous. As long as there are no natural disasters or anything like that, this emperor will be a good emperor."
For now, Yan Hongzhi doesn't have much problem becoming emperor.
Since he is not stupid, he must know which son is suitable to be the heir.
I'm just afraid that my dragon chair will be unstable and I have to take some countermeasures!
"By the way." Ying Cailan thought of another thing: "Is the Crown Princess about to give birth?"
Yan Peiyu said "hmm" and said, "What the imperial doctor said is that it should be next month."
Ying Cailan sighed with emotion: "The prince will celebrate the New Year after giving birth to the child."
But Yan Peiyu told her: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been very tight-lipped about whether the grandson in the Crown Princess's belly is a boy or a girl. So far, no news has been leaked to the outside world."
Ying Cailan: "!!!"
How could she forget this: "So is the Crown Princess pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
Yan Peiyu looked at her and said, "We don't know yet, but you can know!"
"What?" Ying Cailan looked confused.
I saw Yan Peiyu saying slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a decree, asking you to enter the palace to accompany the Crown Princess and protect the Crown Princess's safe delivery!"
Ying Cailan: “???
grass!
