But after thinking for a long time, he finally chose to give up.
That’s all.
After all, the throne still belongs to his eldest brother, and his seventh brother is just a transitional one. Given Dasheng's current situation, it is better for his seventh brother to take over.
As for the sixth prince, Concubine Xu is dead, and everyone in the Xu family is dead and scratched. He seals his heart and loves her, stays in his mansion, and ignores the ups and downs outside.
From the moment Xu Fuxing rebelled, no, from the moment he poisoned Queen Zhou, he had no chance of being crowned emperor.
The princes did not object, the cabinet headed by the courtiers was convinced, and the seventh prince's succession was decided.
When midsummer came, Li Qiao not only paid attention to the plague in the south, but also began to pay attention to the situation in Jibei Province.
Last year there was no drought in Jibei Province that could not even guarantee domestic water supply, so this year it is particularly important.
On this day, when Li Qiao returned home under the setting sun, three little guys, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, and Li Yunfan, were lying on the wall chatting with Sheng Shiyu at the door.
The three people's martial arts class has ended. Tomorrow happens to be Li Qiao's holiday, and it is also their holiday. They discussed going out to play.
Their interest in the Grand Canal has weakened a lot because they only have one day to play. They can't go far and can only spin around at Tongzhou Pier. They are tired of walking in circles.
After it was confirmed that the seventh prince had ascended the throne, the eldest prince's control over Sheng Shiyu was not as strict as before, and Sheng Shiyu had a lot of freedom.
At this moment, he raised his little head and looked at his three younger brothers and put forward his idea:
He wanted to go to the medical clinic.
The plague this time also affected his heart. Most of the apprentices in the medical center went to the southern provinces. Li Qiao decided to recruit students again and build a second branch of the medical center.
He wanted to see the scene.
Sheng Shiyu's suggestion was unanimously approved by the three little guys.
In fact, there is nothing interesting in Shengjing. There are no famous mountains and rivers, and there are no places of interest. Instead of going shopping and having fun, it is better to go to the admissions site of the medical school.
Li Qiao listened to the words of these four little guys without stopping at the door. After being promoted to the head of the Sixth Department, he was much busier than before.
Today's discussion with the Seventh Prince about the plan to carry out basic medical science popularization in Dasheng cost him a lot of brain cells. He wanted to go back home to wash his face and change clothes.
Just as he was about to enter the house, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind him.
It's Tao Zhu who's back.
The medical center was recruiting new people, so Tao Zhu naturally wanted to go and have a look.
When the three little guys saw that Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were back, they said hello to Sheng Shiyu, and then Hou Ma slipped down the ladder and went straight to the two of them.
Let’s go to the medical school to enroll students together tomorrow!
Tao Zhu and Li Qiao had no objection. The plague had killed tens of thousands of people, and Sheng Hong and the Seventh Prince took it very seriously.
Previously, Sheng Hong felt that there was no need to train more doctors to avoid competing with the existing doctors for business, but now Sheng Hong wishes he could have hundreds of thousands more doctors out of thin air so that he could spread the disease throughout Dasheng.
The whole family had a lively dinner and then went back to their respective courtyards.
It's hot in summer, so sitting in the yard to enjoy the coolness is worse than going back to the room and feeling the coolness of the ice basin.
Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan are eight years old this year. Li Qiao and Tao Zhu have always treated them as little babies and have never thought of sharing a room with them.
But after the southern tour came, they themselves volunteered to have a separate room.
So Tao Zhu packed up the east wing and let them live there.
At this moment, the two little guys entered the yard and went straight to the east wing. They did not go to the bedroom, but to their small study.
During this plague, not only were there a shortage of doctors, but there was also not enough medicinal materials.
The four of them were discussing just now and wanted to purchase some fields in the south and north to specialize in growing medicinal herbs.
Li Qiao looked at the two little guys jumping up and down and couldn't help but hold Tao Zhu's hand: "The children are really old and have their own ideas."
They no longer cling to him and Tao Zhu.
A little melancholy.
"Yes, they have grown so fast. The scene when I was pregnant with them seems like yesterday, but now they can leave us to make their big plans."
Tao Zhu also felt a little emotional.
"Day by day, life flies by so fast."
Li Qiao sighed softly and led him towards their bedroom. Not to mention the scene when he was pregnant with the two little ones, the scene he had just traveled through seemed to still be in front of him.
But in fact it has been a full thirteen years.
"Luckily you're here, you've always been there."
Li Qiao couldn't help laughing and shook the hands they held together; "When I first came here, I saw you when I opened my eyes, and then I quickly went to propose marriage. In the past thirteen years, we have not done anything at all. Nothing was wasted.”
Tao Zhu couldn't help but smile as he recalled the acquaintance of the two and everything they had gone through along the way. However, this person fell in love with him at first glance. Although he was worried about gains and losses during the process, the time was short and not worth it. Mention it.
They have been together for these thirteen years.
So what if time goes faster?
They were always together anyway.
The couple returned to the room and kissed each other first. After the honey that had taken thirteen years to brew settled in their bodies, they lay on the bamboo mat and talked about what they had seen today.
Since telling Tao Zhu the secret of time travel + superpower, Li Qiao no longer hides things in court from Tao Zhu.
However, besides medical matters today, there is another important matter: Meng Yue is going back to Beijing.
"The Holy One took the initiative to summon Meng Yue back to discuss his marriage with the Seventh Prince."
"Ah?" Tao Zhu was startled, his eyes widened, but then he was filled with joy: "The Holy One wants to arrange a marriage for them?"
"Yes, the Holy One originally disliked Meng Yue because of her low background and not particularly outstanding abilities. She was not outstanding among the young talents he selected. However, the Seventh Prince couldn't stand it and only focused on Meng Yue. The Holy One didn't want to delay any longer, so he summoned Meng Yue. Return to Beijing in a month."
"After the two get married, the Holy One will prepare to pass the throne to the seventh prince."
Li Qiao explained.
"Then Meng Yue has really become a queen."
Tao Zhu couldn't help laughing: "After getting married, will Meng Yue live in the harem?"
"Of course not. Meng Yue will not be the man behind Brother Success. Meng Yue will continue to hold an official position in the previous government."
"Is that so...then Meng Yue will have to kneel down and worship the Seventh Prince when she goes to court in the future?"
Tao Zhu remembered this detail again.
cough.
Mainly because it's so incredible.
There is no such plot in the books he has read...
"It depends on how much the seventh prince loves Meng Yue."
As Li Qiao spoke, he stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of Tao Zhu's nose: "We have to think about what to give as a wedding gift. We have to wish these two people a happy ending."
As soon as these words came out, Tao Zhu hummed heavily.
But no, after learning that the Seventh Prince had an affair with Meng Yue, he and Li Qiao followed their progress.
Before the southern tour, he and Li Qiao saw no hope.
But they never expected that in a twist of events, during a tour to the south, the two of them would actually achieve enlightenment and become the most noble husband in Dasheng.
Happy event.
Let's celebrate.
Chapter 272 End of text
Meng Yue returned to Beijing on a rainy day.
The light rain had been falling for most of the day. The concrete road was wet and there was some accumulation of water in some places, but it did not affect the carriage's movement.
The sky and the earth are dim and hazy.
Meng Yue's heart returned like an arrow, urging his coachman and boy Shunzi to run faster.
The road is flat anyway, so there is no need to worry about the carriage getting stuck in the mud.
Behind the carriage were twelve bodyguards from Royal Logistics.
When he left Beijing for the first time, he used his salary to hire six bodyguards from Royal Logistics to travel with him everywhere. When he left Beijing last year and this year, the seventh prince was worried about his safety and insisted on hiring a few more.
He happily obeyed the order.
With the one he loves, his life naturally becomes more valuable. He can't let anything happen to him. Anyway, his salary has increased a lot now, and he can afford to hire these bodyguards.
The rain followed the wind and penetrated into the car through the unclosed door. It was cool. It was autumn and the temperature was already low. Now that it rained, the temperature dropped several degrees.
But Meng Yue didn't feel cold at all.
The blood in his body was burning.
It has been burning since the moment I received the imperial edict and the seventh prince's letter. It has been burning for almost a month. Now that we are approaching Shengjing, not only is it not extinguished, but it is burning even more fiercely.
She originally thought that she and the Seventh Prince would be an unknown couple for more than ten years, but she never expected that in less than two years, they would have a grand wedding.
Like a dream.
Even though he was not far away from Shengjing, he was still in a trance. Unconsciously, he lowered his head and looked at the imperial edict and letter in his hand.
For more than half a month on the road, he even slept with these two objects in his arms. Only by holding these two objects in his hands would he not feel that he was dreaming.
He gently rubbed the letter in his hand with his thumb, looking at the Seventh Prince's familiar handwriting on the envelope, the longing on his face became even stronger.
He loves the seventh prince very much.
But this emotion had been suppressed in his heart for six years. Once it exploded, it was like a landslide and tsunami.
Two short stays together were not enough to fully express this emotion.
The same goes for the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince showed an expression and posture in front of him that he had never seen before. His eyes were full of him and his heart was full of him.
