How could Mrs. Dingguo not be worried!
In this regard, Mrs. Ning was very calm: "Now that the matter has come to this, what's the point of being worried? Whether this matter will succeed or not, it is not up to my family to decide. With the ambition of today's emperor, how can I not tolerate a woman like me?" ?”
Mrs. Dingguo forced herself to smile, and asked famous doctors and alchemists to take care of her daughter's body. As a queen in this dynasty who has not yet been deposed, the legitimate son is always the first to be appointed as the heir, as long as the daughter can be born. The next prince will have hope for the rest of his life.
When Ning saw this, she stopped her mother sternly: "God has destined me to have a son, and I think I will have a son sooner or later. If not, forcing me to do so will easily lead to disaster. The royal family has always tabooed witchcraft, let alone seceding from the palace. If something is brought into the palace from outside, my mother will go find famous doctors and alchemists at this time. What should I do if someone takes advantage of it and takes the opportunity to make a fuss?"
Then he smiled and comforted his mother: "I have always been healthy and disease-free. Am I still afraid of not being able to have children? My mother was nearly fifty years old when she gave birth to me."
Ning is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dingguo. She is almost a generation older than her eldest brother, and all her grandchildren are two years older than her.
Mrs. Dingguo felt both relieved and sad when she heard what she said was so logical.
She has several sons, but she only has this one daughter. She was caught in the chaos of King Wu and was heartbroken. Now she has to marry into the palace. It's really...
Ning guessed her mother's thoughts and tried to calm her down: "If you are really worried, you might as well go to Princess Cheng Ning's house for a walk. The Queen Mother is deep in the palace and we can't see her easily, but Her Royal Highness Princess Cheng Ning But I have some old friends, and His Majesty still respects this eldest sister very much."
Mrs. Dingguo suddenly felt enlightened.
…
The former Crown Princess and now the Queen Mother Xie was actually somewhat dissatisfied with the choice of Ning as Queen.
Although she has wisdom and composure that ordinary people don't have, she is obviously not perfect. In the eyes of Queen Mother Xie, her son must be matched with a woman who is excellent in all aspects.
He must have a good family background, be talented and wise, and have a good appearance. Because the son was not in good health before, for the sake of heirs, it is best to find someone two years older than him. Firstly, it is conducive to fertility, and secondly, Can take care of people.
But Ningshi...
Queen Mother Xie did not deny that she was once a qualified princess, and sincerely felt that she was a very outstanding woman, and she did not even mind that Emperor Daxing compensated her with the honor of being a royal princess.
But Queen Mother Xie really did not want a woman who was six years older than her son and who had been her sister-in-law in the past to be her daughter-in-law.
She was a little depressed about this, but because it was the last edict of Emperor Daxing, she couldn't deny it and could only acquiesce.
For this reason, the eldest princess Cheng Ning went to the palace to persuade her mother: "The slight flaws in the beautiful jade cannot prevent it from being a piece of beautiful jade. What faults can you find in Ning's virtue and ethics? Search all over the capital. I will never find a woman with such spirit and character again.”
Queen Mother Xie glanced at her but said nothing.
The eldest princess Cheng Ning knew that her mother actually understood this truth, but she just couldn't agree with it, so she smiled and said: "Mother, your surname is Xie, not Ning, and you don't follow the country's surname. The emperor married the former Your aunt is the queen, so it won’t interfere with your Xie family’s affairs.”
Queen Mother Xie snorted: "As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you will follow the dog. Now that I am the wife of the royal family, why can't I still take care of the royal affairs? He is the emperor, but he is also my son!"
Princess Cheng Ning said: "Since you are the royal family's daughter-in-law, then the former patriarch and the current patriarch of the royal family do not feel ashamed and took the initiative to promote this matter. What do you care about?"
Queen Mother Xie looked slightly relaxed and raised her hand to rub her temples: "That mouth of yours is really..."
The eldest princess Cheng Ning sat down next to her mother affectionately and said: "There are advantages to being older. Chunlang has grown up early. If he really finds someone similar to his age, I'm afraid he won't be able to talk about it yet." He is alone, no one understands him, and he feels lonely. As for the heir, Ning herself is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dingguo."
Queen Mother Xie looked at her sideways: "What I think is not important, what Chunlang thinks is important!"
…
Liu Che...
Liu Che actually had no idea.
He didn't know in advance that the emperor had chosen a queen for him before he died, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.
It doesn't matter if you're married for the second time. My mother was also married for the second time.
My mother also gave birth to a sister before me. I didn’t know about it before, so forget it. As soon as I found out, she took my sister into the palace and reunited with her biological mother.
He really doesn't care about this.
After careful consideration, he felt that Ning was actually a good candidate for the queen.
Wisdom, open-mindedness, no worries for the mother's family, and a character above the passing line. If a queen can achieve the above four points, what else does she need a bicycle!
He scratched his head in confusion: "I just feel like I've forgotten something..."
…
Lives in Yanguan.
The former Princess Ding'an and now the Prince Yingniang were looking at each other with Tang Zuo and his brother's wives.
Ah this...
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
Chapter 106
When Dong Gong passed away, he was less than thirty years old.
He died of a sudden illness. Although he endured some torture before his death, it did not last long, so even though he died, it was not very embarrassing to describe.
Dong Gong only felt that his whole body became more relaxed, and the pain seemed to be completely removed from his body. At first, he thought about ordering a reward to the imperial doctor to treat the disease, but then he realized that his body was floating up from the collapse. , after seeing his own body lying on the collapse with his eyes closed, he became silent.
The always upright and polite wife showed such a rude expression for the first time. She fell to the ground and burst into tears. The eldest daughter lowered her head, holding her mother's sleeves and crying silently.
Ying Niang and Chun Lang were still young and probably didn't understand what their father's passing meant to them. They stood aside in confusion, not knowing why the people around them were crying like they were mourning for their heirs.
And his father, the Emperor, who was over fifty years old, stood quietly in the hall like a silent mountain, with a sad expression, even vaguely showing a bit of despair.
What he lost was not just a son, but also the heir to such a great empire!
The prince was the eldest son of the family and had outstanding talents, so he could naturally convince the public. Now that he suddenly died of illness, not only the future of the emperor, but also the future of the country was plunged into darkness.
Where will the successor come from?
A legitimate grandson or a prince in his prime?
The emperor's grandson is young and sick, can he be made the emperor's grandson?
If a prince is to be established, should he be the eldest among the princes, or the wisest?
How can the emperor not be disappointed by this!
And besides that, he is also a father, a father who just lost the child he raised by himself!
The emperor devoted so much to Dong Gong that it can even be said that Dong Gong was not only a son to him, but also another incarnation of his ideal self.
The emperor devoted all his efforts to the East Palace what he wanted but could not get.
His father's favor, his unparalleled status among the princes, and the respect of his biological mother, Empress Yuan, even made him no longer have a successor. When the East Palace was a little older, he chose a famous scholar in the world as the prince's teacher. And he carefully selected the subordinate officials of the East Palace for him...
The human heart is made of flesh, and the emperor treats his son with all his heart and soul, how could the East Palace know nothing about it?
He grew up in the arms of the Emperor, and under the protection of the Emperor, he staggered into the court and then stood firm. However, his father had not even waited for his son's filial piety and kindness. Respecting him, he let go first.
The soul of the East Palace was floating in the air, looking at the close relatives who stayed behind with nostalgia and reluctance. The emperor, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, stood in front of his sickbed, silently shedding tears...
Dad, my child can no longer be filial to you!
The ghost messenger behind him had already begun to urge him. Since Dong Gong was dead, he naturally could not stay in the human world. He looked at his father, wife and children for the last time worriedly, and reluctantly followed the ghost messenger to leave.
After arriving in the underworld, Yan Jun read through his life records with a gentle expression: "The prince has made many achievements during his lifetime. He presided over the major event of water control of the Yellow River, which can ensure that the people along the coast will be free from disasters for two hundred years. This is a great merit. What's more, If you major in famous poems and poems from ancient times to the Southern Dynasties, you can also be famous in later generations..."
After thinking about it again and again, he asked his opinion: "The merits outweigh the faults. If you reincarnate like this, you can still join a wealthy family in the next life and live a peaceful life. If you don't want to reincarnate - have you ever considered it?" Are you working as a ghost in the underworld?"
Dong Gong had not yet drank Meng Po soup. He was worried about his old father and could not leave his wife and children. How could he be reincarnated with peace of mind? He immediately said, "In that case, I would like to work as a ghost in the underworld."
Yan Jun nodded happily, waved his hand, and gave him a benefit: "Your ancestors all lived in the mansion in the east. Although you have never been an emperor, you are still a member of the underworld. If you get the chance, , you can also go and visit us."
Dong Palace was surprised when he heard this: "Are all the ancestors here?"
Somewhat annoyed: "If I had known about this earlier, I should have paid a visit when I first came here."
After arriving at the place, I knocked on the door and went in. I heard the people inside sighing several times.
"My child is a good child, but there is one thing wrong - you died too early!"
"It's easy for you to kick your legs off like this, but it has made your father miserable. He lost his heir in his fifties..."
"Not only that, he also cheated his own son. How can he live peacefully under his uncle's nose if he can't be the emperor's grandson?"
Someone else put forward a negative view: "That's not necessarily true. The child is born weak, so it's not sure whether he can live to adulthood."
Dong Gong's forehead twitched with veins, a smile on his face, and a friendly greeting to him in his heart.
You're not going to live long enough!
Others said: "It should be fine. Even if such a sick emperor's grandson is really fed, he will not pose much of a threat. He is just used to show his benevolence. What a good tool." "
Looking at Dong Gong's confused face, he seemed to be puzzled, so he called him to come closer: "You are new here, and you don't know yet. There is a mirror in this hell, and you can see the human world..."
Dong Gong understood it instantly and stepped forward to take a look.
The emperor and his father are in a dilemma over the choice of crown prince, but his brothers are all eager to try.
Yes, that is the position of crown prince. Who would not be tempted by the candidate of the future emperor?
From the perspective of Togiya himself, of course he hoped that the position could be reserved for his only son, Haruo Miao. However, after thinking twice, he had to shake his head and reject the idea.
Haruro is too young.
Only a few years old.
How long will the emperor have when he is over fifty years old? To be unfilial, if the emperor dies not long after, leaving behind the young emperor and his uncles in their prime, I am afraid that Chunlang The ending will be very miserable.
Not to mention that Haruro's body is also a real shortcoming in the competition for the position of crown prince.
Even if the emperor can really live until Chunlang comes of age, how long can Chunlang's body last?
The prince has been taught by the emperor since he was a child, and he deeply understands the weight and responsibility of the word "emperor". Since he calls himself the emperor, he must be responsible for the people of the world. If the emperor dies as a young man and has no heirs, there will inevitably be consequences. A turmoil at the highest level of the royal family. In the end, it was the people of Liming who suffered.
Let the child be a wealthy and idle man.
Dong Gong thought, just let him be a child who has been sick since childhood, loved by his mother, and loved by his grandfather and uncles. He doesn't need to show how smart and capable he is. It's good if he can survive.
As his only son, this child will definitely be knighted by the prince when he grows up. And because of his poor health, the successor will not be too afraid of him, but will treat him favorably.
And his two daughters, relying on their biological brothers, expected that their lives would not be too bad after they got married.
The Crown Princess was worthy of being a wife with whom he had a close heart. After considering the current situation over and over again, she made the same decision as her husband.
She did not encourage her mother's family and the officials of the Eastern Palace to fight for the interests of the emperor and grandson. Instead, she prayed several times to the emperor to send an imperial doctor to diagnose her son's pulse, and indirectly told the kings that the child was indeed in poor health - he weighed less than three pounds when he was born. Without it, how much better the body would be!
The emperor obviously had no intention of appointing the emperor's grandson as the emperor's grandson, but out of love for the East Palace, he still cooperated with the crown princess's behavior, letting the kings know that the emperor's grandson was weak and obeyed the crown prince's request. He gave them the house where he was hiding, and asked the princess to move out of the palace with her children. Later, she also ordered Yousi to take care of the orphan and widowed mother.
But that’s where it ends.
