Zhu Yuanzhang choked for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back: "Wucao! Brothers, the wild boar is dangerous!"
Chapter 80
The crown prince will run the business for her two older daughters, but will not make special plans for her son.
She could clearly see that compared to her uncles who were already in a strong position, her son's weakness was too obvious. If he rushes into the battle for the throne, he would only be attacked by a group of people. It would be better to do it safely. A county prince, waiting for the emperor's uncle to ascend the throne in the future and be promoted to prince.
Her husband is the crown prince appointed by the emperor, and her son is the only legitimate son in the East Palace in the past. No matter which emperor's uncle gets the throne, in order to show his love to the world, he will treat him favorably. Son's.
And when it comes to hibernation, my son has an innate advantage - he is in poor health and weighed less than three pounds when he was born!
How could such an imperial grandson be considered a threat?
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
More than ten years have passed. The King of Chu is in his forties, but the emperor's body is still very strong. Just last month, a concubine was diagnosed with pregnancy - he can't wait any longer!
The King of Chu suddenly took action, poisoned King Yan, and led an army to force the palace. However, Jiang was still old and spicy.
The king of Chu occupied the north gate of the imperial city.
King Chu rushed to Tai Chi Palace.
The King of Chu was surrounded by the imperial army that had been ambushing him for a long time.
King Chu is dead!
The two most powerful princes were gone, and the emperor's grandsons had grown up. The emperor, who was old but still clung to power, made several new princes princes, and also brought the original owners with him.
Now, the original owner, the legitimate son of the East Palace, will inevitably step into this muddy water.
Although the Crown Princess is shrewd, she will inevitably have some shortcomings when it comes to matters in the court. Not to mention that since the death of the East Palace, her mother's family has begun to hibernate. They are no longer the most prominent families.
But the battle for power will not become peaceful and friendly because of the shrinking of their department.
After the death of Dong Gong, the emperor no longer had a heir apparent. In terms of justice and status, there was no one more suitable than the original owner.
But the emperor has more than twenty princes. Even if King Yan and King Chu die in confrontation, there are still many uncles, among whom there are twelve or three adults.
They have their mothers and concubines to support them in the inner palace, and they have wives and mothers to help them outside. How can the emperor's grandson, who is only fourteen years old and weak in health, compete with them?
This thing of righteousness and honor is the icing on the cake when the power is sufficient, but when the power is insufficient, it cannot be a help in times of need!
After receiving the emperor's decree to confer her son as a prince, the prince and concubine knew that something was wrong, and immediately went into the palace to see the concubines who had taken care of the East Palace. After checking their voices, they went Meeting with the Emperor: "The child is still young and his body is weak. Even the mathematicians can't tell him to move around more in front of people. How can he afford such a favor from his father?"
The emperor looked confused, but he thought of Dong Gong, who had passed away for many years: "It's not for others, just for Da Lang. If he is still alive, how lucky will Chun Lang be?"
He was gentle yet firm.
The prince and concubine had no choice but to thank her.
She was in the middle of the situation, caring about her only son, and had never truly occupied a supreme position. Naturally, she could not predict the emperor's thoughts. However, Liu Che was a monster who had become a spirit. He knew very well what the emperor was thinking. what!
Any thoughts about missing a son who died young, or pity for a grandson who was orphaned at a young age are all fake!
People who have never controlled power cannot imagine the allure of power. Compared with this thing, what is a son?
It’s no different from leeks in the field!
It is too easy for the world to overestimate the influence of family ties on the emperor.
for example.
Li Shimin's mother, Empress Taimu Dou, was loved by her uncle Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was educated in the palace since she was a child. After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty usurped Zuo of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Dou cried loudly after hearing the news: "I just hate that I am not a man, I can't It’s difficult to save my uncle’s family!” The relationship with my uncle’s family cannot be said to be deep.
Later, Dou married Li Yuan and gave birth to Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and other sons.
His uncle Yu Wenyong's daughter, Princess Qingdu, married Yan Bi, the Duke of Shibao County. After the marriage, she gave birth to two sons for her husband. The second son was the famous Yan Liben.
Going into detail, Yan Liben wanted to call Li Shimin his cousin - this is not a cousin with a thousand miles apart, and they can be brought together by just a little tug of war!
But in the feudal era, we talked about superiority first and then kinship. Who wants to talk to you about family affairs?
One time when Li Shimin was visiting the lake, he saw a strange bird. He became very interested and immediately spread the word to Yan Liben to draw it.
Yan Liben ran all the way to the waterside, sweating profusely, and lay on the ground painting hastily. He was deeply ashamed of it. Afterward, he said to his son: "I am most famous for painting in my life, but it... But you make me serve others like a slave. This is a great shame. Don't learn this skill again!"
This is true for cousins who have become relatives!
Li Longji even set a record of killing three sons in one day.
Liu Che thought back to the children and grandchildren of today's emperor.
There are more than 20 princes alone, and there are also 14 or 5 princesses. Including the emperor's grandson and grandson, the total number is about a hundred. When Leng Buding sees him, I'm afraid he won't be able to tell who is who. How could he feel sorry for his child?
The emperor is also a human being, and human emotions are only so big. 90% of them are given to power, and the rest...
Do you think the rest will be given to your son?
Do you want to share the remaining 10% with his biological mother?
Do you want to give some to his uncle?
Do you want to give some to the women in the harem?
Should we give some points to the companions and subordinate officials who supported him to ascend to the throne?
Do you want to give some to the laborers in the court every now and then?
Do the math for yourself, and if it falls on your sons, how much more will you get?
Liu Che reviewed the entire process of King Chu's rebellion in his mind, but he didn't think he was too crazy - it would be fine if he were the prince. There is still hope, but he is not!
Next to him was King Yan, who was as favored by the emperor as he was, and behind him were a group of younger brothers who were eyeing him. The most terrible thing was, above him, there was Lao Deng, who was getting more and more energetic...
After playing a game of chess for more than ten years, he still couldn't see any way forward. It's no wonder that he tried his best to get a chance.
It's a pity that he lost and was out with King Yan.
The emperor, the banker, reshuffled the cards and brought out a few more players to imitate the original kings of Chu and Yan and play against each other.
The original owner, the acting king who was temporarily dragged onto the stage, has a more powerful name than King Chu and King Yan, but in terms of power, he is much inferior.
He could have jumped out of this muddy water, waited for the situation to be settled, and An Ansheng would have picked up a prince's hat to wear.
But since he was canonized as acting king by the emperor, he has lost the qualification to leave in midfield.
Either fight to the end and be the final winner, or be eliminated and leave sadly.
Political struggle is ruthless. If he falls, what will happen to his mother and his two sisters?
Therefore, Ying Niang would rather sacrifice herself to save her younger brother.
As long as the original owner is alive, the East Palace series can exist. If he dies, everything will instantly turn into ashes.
The prince and concubine didn't know what the old man above the throne was thinking, but Liu Che knew - because he was also a old man.
But it is precisely because of knowing that I find it difficult.
It is indeed uncomfortable to be used as a chess piece and have your fate manipulated by others, but it will be even more uncomfortable if you are not even qualified to be manipulated as a chess piece!
The emperor will not let his grandson get involved in power - because this will make the emperor feel dangerous.
A creature like the emperor would never voluntarily hand over his authority unless death was imminent.
The emperor will not let his Buddhist lineage lie flat - help you up, you should fulfill your responsibilities as a chess piece, attract firepower, and fight with the emperor's uncles, don't you dare to recognize it?
Damn me, there are ten thousand ways to disgust you!
Liu Che: "..."
I did a lot of evil in the first half of my life, and I finally got my comeuppance!
In the space, the emperors were gloating: "How's it going, She'er? Now you know how difficult it was for you to be a courtier in your later years, right?"
Even a serious man like Ying Zheng was happy to hear Dahan's jokes: "As we all know, there are four people in Dahan's prison..."
Li Yuanda: "The first one said that I was imprisoned for opposing the prince."
Li Shimin: "The second one said that I was imprisoned for supporting the prince."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "The third one said, I was imprisoned because I didn't say anything."
Ying Zheng finally concluded: "The fourth person said, I am the prince."
There was a deafening laughter in the space.
The life of the courtiers in Emperor Wu's later years was not only difficult, it was a battle royale from hell, with indiscriminate attacks!
Liu Che: "..."
Fierce insults Fierce insults!
He held on to the wall and moved forward slowly, thinking in his mind how to get out of this pool of mud. It would definitely not work if he faced the enemy head-on. Who could be tougher than the Emperor?
Still have to take a roundabout way...
He has an uncle who seems to be guarding the border in the north?
The official position is not very high, only the fourth rank, but he does have some say in side affairs.
The Crown Prince's concubine can be selected into the East Palace because the prosperity of her mother's family, the Xie family, is inevitable. When the East Palace is still there, she is the Crown Prince's right-hand man. But when the East Palace dies, she will immediately become a serious problem for the successor of the East Palace. The emperor also wanted to cut off the power that the Xie family had grown dramatically in the past few years because of marrying a daughter into the East Palace.
The Xie family themselves understand this truth, so they have kept their tail between their legs in recent years. The crown prince's brother withdrew from Chang'an to guard the northern border, and his father also resigned from the position of Shangshu Youpushe and became the minister. Then he went to Wenyuan Pavilion to become a bachelor in vain.
The emperor was pleased with the attitude of the Xie family. With a wave of his hand, he went back to his in-laws with them and married the ninth princess to Sanlang of the Xie family as his wife to comfort them.
But that’s where it ends.
But we can try to get out of the quagmire through this uncle's relationship...
Just as Liu Che was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a smacking sound coming from the space. The expected Baijuan came and asked hurriedly: "Excuse me, what's going on this time?"
Li Shimin clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Liu Che felt something bad when he heard this voice. When Li Yuanda finished reading, his eyesight went dark.
"Su Xiangnian went to the mountain to collect medicine, but unexpectedly rescued a beautiful man who had lost his memory. The two fell in love and got married. However, after she became pregnant, someone came looking for her and claimed to be her husband. House servant..."
"Her husband went to Beijing to find his wife. Su Xiangnian was pregnant and it was inconvenient to travel far. After giving birth to her son, her husband was nowhere to be seen, so she embarked on the road to find her husband."
"But after arriving in the capital, she found out that Fengshen's handsome husband turned out to be the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, and he had just married his wife yesterday. She was filled with grief and anger, and had no choice but to demote her as a concubine and give up her position as the head wife to that arrogant man. The vicious woman even had her own flesh and blood taken away, and she died alone in the woodshed..."
