"Could it be that dad can still give the reserve to others?"
Zhao Mengqi asked with a smile, since there was no one else in the study, he had nothing to be taboo about.
Zhao Guanjia laughed in astonishment and shook his head, "Of course I don't want to give it to others, but not many ministers in the Manchu Dynasty think highly of you, and the affairs of our Song Dynasty may not necessarily be decided by me, an official. "
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but remember that he was promoted to the throne by powerful ministers from among the people. Since he had no biological son, at least half of the inheritance of the throne was in the hands of ministers.
"Minister? They just think that Erchen's intelligence is worrying. Apart from this, who else can be more legitimate than Erchen when it comes to the issue of reserve position? As long as his father does not change his intention to support Erchen, Erchen is still sure to let them Change your tune.”
"Hahaha, very good, you just need to have this kind of aura of taking responsibility. Before, when you were not smart enough, I wholeheartedly made you my lord, not to mention now. As for the ministers, from today onwards, the court will Judging from the results, I also believe that you have the means, haha. It is said that it was Taizu who blessed you and opened your mind. This way my pressure is much lessened. As long as you and I are of the same mind, this reserve will definitely not change. !”
When Zhao Guanjia said this, he seemed to have forgotten that he had to compromise under the pressure of the minister yesterday. In fact, his will was not as firm as he thought.
In history, Zhao Mengqi was able to ascend to the throne in the end. Although Zhao Yun had always supported him, it was actually more due to the struggle of civil servants. Jia Sidao, who won, felt that he was easy to control, so he promoted him to the position of prince. .
But now, Zhao Mengqi is no longer the Zhao Mengqi he used to be. Unless he continues to act stupid, if Jia Sidao is still in power in the future, he may not be chosen.
Not to mention the butterfly effect, things in this world are inherently developing dynamically. Many times, a small thing can change the direction of the situation. Therefore, if Zhao Mengqi wants to successfully ascend to the throne, he must rely on his own efforts.
Next, Zhao Guanjia, who was in a good mood, recounted what happened in the court again very proudly, "Hey, those guys in turbans, I'm afraid they never imagined until their death that the person who put them in trouble was actually you, whom they have always looked down on. "
Zhao Mengqi didn't want to take credit, "Dad gave me the reward, but my son and I didn't do anything. Everything was just the result of dad's strategizing."
"You and I still have to talk like this between father and son? Do you think that my father will still be afraid of you? As the saying goes, the more capable you are, the happier your father will be. You don't have to hide it in front of me. You don’t need to imitate the hypocrisy of those turbans.”
"Dad has taught me a lesson, and my son has been taught a lesson. So now that the court will follow up, does dad have any plans?"
"If you have any good plans, just let them continue to fight. I will be happy to be in peace. When they come to a conclusion, it will not be too late for me to take action."
"What dad said is true. I feel that Uncle Xie Fang is the only prime minister in the court now. If he shows his authority, I'm afraid he won't be able to cause trouble for long. Then they will inevitably work together to cause trouble for dad. It's better to add fuel to their fire and let them get into trouble." They kept quarreling for a little longer..."
"Oh? If you have any ideas, just tell me."
So the father and son began to murmur, scheming against the ministers with every word, and they looked like they were collaborating, not like a serious king at all.
After talking for a long time, Zhao Guanjia's eyes became brighter and brighter, and there was actually a sense of excitement and mischief. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, Si Lang, this is really like a gift from heaven. The emperor's mind is more skillful than mine. Not bad, not bad. I, Zhao Song, will be the future There is hope for ZTE.”
"Hey, daddy, please don't reveal your son or ministers, otherwise those ministers..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will be the villain, and you just have to wait until you can safely ascend to the position of prince!"
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, truly a loving father and a filial son.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then Dong Songchen's voice came in, "Guan family, Prince Rong has come to the palace to ask for an audience. He is waiting in the meeting hall."
"This second brother is still the same cautious character. We are all part of the same family. He comes directly after entering the palace, but he is so particular about it." Zhao Guanjia muttered, and then asked loudly, "Did you say anything?"
"It seems that Concubine Qian's birthday is coming, and I would like to invite Prince Zhong to celebrate her birthday."
Zhao Guanjia couldn't help curling his lips, half complaining and half ridiculing, "Obviously I care about my son, but it's hard for him to endure it for so many days. I'm afraid he's complaining about me a lot. I heard you were awake and wanted to come see you, but I was afraid of being exposed by those The big turban is gossiping, so I just found an excuse, that’s all, I’ll go see him first.”
…
Ciyuan Hall.
Concubine Yan had a stern face, and she looked even more ugly even though she was already injured. Several pieces of high-quality tribute porcelain were broken at her feet, and the palace maid was not allowed to clean them up.
Lu Yunsheng, the enshrining officer at Neixitou, came back in a hurry and saw broken porcelain on the ground. He walked carefully to Concubine Yan and said, "Concubine, the official came out of Qingyan Hall and went to Huijing Hall to see Prince Rong again. Dong Daguan Rumor has it that the officials won’t be able to come over today.”
"If you don't come, you won't come. If you have the ability, you will never come." Concubine Yan gritted her teeth.
Lu Yunsheng pretended not to hear, but did not dare to interrupt.
Concubine Yan asked again, "Everyone in Qingyan Hall has changed!?"
"Yes, they have all been changed. Lin Yaban is now in charge. The whereabouts of the previous people are unknown. They must have been dealt with." Lu Yunsheng answered carefully.
"Haha, I really treasured that fool. Even old man Lin moved him out! Do you think I can't do anything with that fool? Humph!" Concubine Yan looked angry.
Lu Yunsheng looked around and whispered, "Your Majesty, Dong Daguan also sent word that the officials had agreed to re-elect the prince before today, but the ministers fought over the candidate again, and in the end they could not reach a conclusion, saying Let the noble concubine make the calculation early."
"What are you fussing about? Didn't Ding Daquan say he would make arrangements? What's wrong with this!? What a bunch of losers!"
With that said, Concubine Yan picked up a tea cup and smashed it down.
Lu Yunsheng didn't dare to hide, and let the debris splash on his body. After Concubine Yan finished venting, he asked in a low voice, "Concubine, should I send a message to Concubine Qian to ask her to hold on tight?"
"What's the point of asking!? Let her finish the matter of Wei Guansun's adoption as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can I get started?"
"Well, I'll make arrangements now, little one."
After Lu Yunsheng went out, he came back not long after, "Your Majesty, please see Dr. Chong."
"Chong Taiyi? He still dares to come to see me!? Haha, I almost forgot about this guy. I sent a message to throw his son into the Qiantang River!"
Lu Yunsheng advised, "Your Majesty, he said he had something important to tell me. I thought that it is inconvenient for people in our palace to come in and out now, so why not just listen to what he has to say."
Concubine Yan thought for a while, "You are right, then let's hear what secrets this guy has. If it's just for fun, throw him and his son into the river together!"
Concubine Yan was banned from the official Zhao family, and people in her palace were not allowed to come in or out at will. Dr. Chong was able to come in because he was looking at the concubine's injuries.
When Dr. Chong came in, the floor had already been cleaned up.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to ask you for forgiveness."
Concubine Yan wore a veil to cover the bruises on her face, and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "Don't talk about those vain people. If you can't tell anything useful, you'd better end it yourself!"
"Your Majesty, please reject the irrelevant people."
"Mysterious!"
Although she said this, Concubine Yan still cleared out everyone, leaving only Lu Yunsheng, "He is my confidant, if you have anything to say, please tell me immediately!"
Imperial Physician Chong did not dare to hesitate and explained the purpose of his visit in one breath, "Your Majesty, I know that I did not handle the matter well, but please give me a chance to make amends. I have a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, which can give your concubine a high chance of conceiving a dragon." fetal."
"What!" Concubine Yan became excited, but she was afraid that she had heard wrongly.
Lu Yunsheng looked at Imperial Physician Chong suspiciously and said slyly, "Physician Chong, do you know what you are talking about? This kind of thing cannot be tolerated by your nonsense!"
"Noble concubine, what the official said is true. Although I can't say that I'm 100% sure, there is a 50-60% chance. This is why I didn't dare to mention it before, but now I'm afraid that if I don't say it, Quanzi is afraid... so I can only take a gamble, but I don’t know if the imperial concubine is willing to take a chance."
After Dr. Chong finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited.
"Really? Really?" Concubine Yan seemed to be in disbelief. She clenched her hands into fists, then unclenched them, then clenched them again, thinking quickly.
Lu Yunsheng persuaded in a low voice, "My concubine, this thing sounds a bit unreliable. Even if Dr. Chong did not lie, the 50% to 60% chance is too low. If you really believe him, will it affect your plan? "
Concubine Yan gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind, "This kind of thing, let alone 50% to 60%, even 10%, is still worth a try, but your concerns are reasonable, and the original plan cannot be delayed. If...if I can really give birth to a dragon son, and there will be a way to solve it when the time comes, it will just take a lot of trouble!"
Then, her voice became softer, "Physician Chong, tell me what the method is."
"Using acupuncture and decoction to regulate the body of the imperial concubine, it can take as long as one month and as fast as ten days to be effective." Dr. Chong said slowly.
"Medicine!?" Lu Yunsheng questioned, "Don't play any tricks! The imperial concubine cannot take the medicine you prescribed!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Lu. The official only prescribes prescriptions. The decoction can be prepared by the Royal Pharmacy Academy. After they check it, if there is any problem, the official will be directly prosecuted. If you are still worried, you don't need to use the decoction, but that's it." The efficacy will be reduced." Dr. Chong said calmly.
"Oh, your son's life is still in my hands. I'm afraid you don't dare to be cunning. Just do your best if you want to do it. You can use all your skills for me. If things go well, I can guarantee the prosperity of your Chong family for three generations. !”
Concubine Yan is also a decisive person, otherwise she would not dare to attack Zhao Mengqi directly.
As long as she can have a biological son, she is willing to pay any price, because only in this way can she become a queen, or even a queen mother!
