Tianjia is sick.
It is logically impossible for this kind of news to spread, but the Dou family has an aunt who is the concubine. Mrs. Dou goes in to visit from time to time, and she always gets some news.
She also specially brought some hidden maids, who were spies installed by other aristocratic families in the Dou family, to successfully reveal the matter.
In this way, even if the root cause is traced in the future, the Dou family can escape calmly and not be dragged into the water.
For a time, Fengjing was about to be stormy.
First, the students clamored, demanding that the Fang family retaliate for the fraud in the imperial examination and that Fang Yuan hand over his identity as a top talent.
Then Tianjia fell ill. According to the news, he was just a little flustered and palpitated, but who dared to believe it.
Without getting a conclusive answer, no one can rest assured.
So next, all the princes and concubines began to try their best to find out.
Chang Yan is ready to instigate and build momentum, and is ready to spread word of mouth to turn the original heart palpitations into heart ailments, catalyzing and accelerating the struggle for imperial power.
But before he could take action, conclusive news came from the Qianqing Palace, and the Tian family stopped court for three days.
As everyone knows, a healthy person can stay free from illness for many years, but once he becomes ill, it is difficult to recover.
Tianjia's forty years old is not too young, and he has been diligent and worried all year round. His hair has long been gray, so his sudden collapse at this moment seems to be reasonable.
Even Zhang Yan was surprised and doubtful, "Is he really sick? But last time I saw him, he was still tough..."
Not to mention others.
The eldest prince visited the palace frequently, and each time he brought a large amount of medicines and supplements, showing his filial piety to the fullest.
The second prince was taciturn and tried his best to find ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum among the people, just to express his filial piety.
Not to mention the fourth prince, he even postponed his departure from the palace and established a palace. He went in and out of the imperial hospital every day and begged the imperial doctor to treat him with all his heart.
Just looking at the behavior, it is really difficult to tell who is hiding behind it.
Then we can only start from the Fang family.
Observing the hidden stakes, all the strangers paid close attention, wanting to observe which prince's mansion they returned to in the end, or who got close to the aristocratic family's house.
The results were indeed observed, but among them were people from the second prince's house and some from the fourth prince's maternal family. It was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
Could it be that the Fang family has three boats and will do whatever it takes to achieve success?
This was probably rejected by Chang Yan, who shook his head and said, "Concubine Ju lives in a deep palace. The eldest prince is not smart enough to let the Fang family play tricks. The prince hiding behind will never tolerate the Fang family's second thoughts, and the Fang family will not be so stupid."
Even if it is a marriage between aristocratic families, they have to hang a gourd on a vine. They never dare to be half-hearted and cling to the left and the right.
An unstable stance may seem like a win-win bet, but actually amounts to a loss of trust on both sides.
In the end, nothing good can be achieved.
So the person behind it could only be the taciturn second prince, or the lame fourth prince.
According to Konoe's investigation, the second prince's mother was an unknown palace maid. After giving birth to her child, she lingered on her bedside and passed away a few years ago. From then on, the second prince grew up in a stumbling way.
For a child without a father to love him or a mother to protect him, life is difficult to imagine. It is said that even the young eunuchs in the palace dared to kick him, not to mention the eldest prince who often yelled at him.
This situation did not improve until he left the palace and established a government. Because of his diligence, simplicity and ability, the second prince was finally appreciated by his father and given some administrative powers. At his request, his nanny was taken over to take care of him in his old age. His life was finally on track. .
When it comes to the motivation for seizing power, the second prince seems to have plenty - all the tragedies and misfortunes in the past came from the loss of power.
He longs for power, longs to become stronger, and longs to seek justice for his mother.
Looking at the fourth prince, his biological mother was in the imperial concubine position, and his maternal grandfather was also from a powerful family in Fengjing. However, he was involved in the competition for the harem and was maliciously murdered. The originally healthy child had a difficult birth, bruised his ankle in the mother's womb, and has since become lame. foot.
Even the concubine, that gentle and beautiful woman, lost the chance to become a mother again because of this.
However, the culprit, Concubine Ju, is still as luxurious as ever, and even the eldest prince has become the favorite to be crown prince. Not only do the concubine and her son have no chance to repay their old hatred, but they may also have to make a living under the hands of Concubine Ju and their son - the fourth prince also has ample motivation to seize power.
To be precise, it is impossible to live a healthy and happy life while living in a deep palace.
If there really is one, it can only be the eldest prince Zhu Changhong.
It is unfortunate that God allowed the biological mother of the second prince to die on the sickbed and the biological mother of the fourth prince to lose the right to have children. However, the biological mother of the eldest prince has been favored for twenty years and dominates the harem to this day.
God is lucky again. It is unknown who is hiding behind the second prince and the fourth prince, but it is certain that the eldest prince cannot stand up to the wall.
Only through suffering in the past can people grow calmly, and only through sufficient sadness can one become calm and composed.
Sometimes I don’t know whether to be grateful for the tragic past, or I would rather soak in the honey jar and be a simple and ignorant little fool.
But given Chang Yan's choice, he still prefers now.
Calculate everything with enough intelligence, face everyone with an appraising eye, guess what others can't guess, and grasp what others can't grasp.
The feeling of having everything at your fingertips is really good.
The young man stretched out his right hand and pressed his five fingers together, as if he had grasped everything.
"Oh, my highness." The guard looked anxiously, "Don't be too mysterious. Things have come to this point. We haven't found the person behind it yet, so how can we reveal it to Concubine Ju, and how can we sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. "
Now the students' mood in Fengjing has reached its peak. If they don't take advantage of it, their morale will decline sooner or later.
Tianjia will only stay away from court for three days. If he shows up after three days, the rumor of falling ill will be self-defeating.
At that point, your efforts will be in vain.
"Don't worry." Chang Yan said in a deep tone, "Don't you think the Qianqing palace is too cooperative this time? It's not so much that the fourth brother's massage caused the change in pulse, it's better to say that the father is cooperating with the rumors."
Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, but the Tian family is not suspicious?
Doesn't he want to know if his sons have ever cared about his throne?
"However, His Highness obviously also suspected that Tianjia was really ill." The guard was dumbfounded.
"Even the pulse can be changed. How many things in this world are true?" Chang Yan looked out the window, "Instead of speculating in every possible way, it is better to test it."
He trusts his own judgment more.
"Then how do you want to test His Highness?" the guard asked in a low voice.
Just propose.
The Tian family suddenly fell ill, but their sons were all alone. They had neither a main wife nor a side wife, let alone grandchildren who could call the Tian family "grandfather" twice.
Human beings attach great importance to reproduction, and the emperor can also be a kind elder.
The next day, under the hint of the fifth prince, someone in the court proposed to marry concubines for several princes, so as to prolong their heirs and at the same time eliminate the emperor's illness.
It is also commonly known as Chongxi.
