Prince Zhongshun also got the news and was afraid that Wang Tingxuan would be plotted, so he came to him first. Now, after driving away Feng Ziying who came to come forward, he was still a little worried.
When the emperor saw how eager King Zhongshun was, he felt a little puzzled and asked, "Did something big happen?"
King Zhongshun said: "Of course it is a big thing, a big thing."
The emperor really didn't believe that something big could happen without any warning in advance.
King Zhongshun didn't care about the emperor's attitude and asked directly: "Brother, how did you arrange Wang Tingxuan?"
"Isn't he following you in the Ministry of Works now?"
"That's not what I'm talking about, it's about his marriage."
The emperor was even more confused as to how big a deal this was. Wang Tingxuan was his direct descendant, and there was no need to use special means to win him over. However, in view of his merits, the emperor did think about this issue in his mind, but he still
Not settled yet.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
King Zhongshun said: "I originally had a suitable candidate, my daughter, Princess Zhaojing. But now it is a bit inappropriate."
It is not surprising that the emperor has this plan for King Zhongshun.
"Why is it inappropriate?"
King Zhongshun said: "I originally wanted to surprise you with this matter, but now I have to tell you in advance. Wang Tingxuan and I discovered two high-yielding crops... and are now trying to plant them in my brother's Zhuangzi.
It will be harvested after a while. It’s just that I don’t have enough seeds now, so I didn’t tell you.”
"But Brother Chen can guarantee that the yields of these two crops will definitely surprise many people. This is a major event that will benefit the future and benefit all people."
The emperor was overjoyed and walked around the study several times excitedly, but could not calm down his excitement.
"Zhongshun, thank you. You have helped me a lot. To tell you the truth, I have long been prepared to be scolded by history books. Now, if I can promote these two crops to the world
, so that the people will not suffer from hunger. No matter how the history books judge, I have no regrets."
"When these two crops are harvested, I will definitely give you a heavy reward. I can promise you now that your position as prince can be hereditary and irreplaceable, and the great Chu Dynasty will never be demoted. As for Wang Tingxuan, I also
You can reward him with a title that can be passed down to his descendants."
"Thank you, brother!" King Zhongshun was filled with joy. He invited the most famous old farmers near the capital to Zhuangzi with high salaries. According to them, sweet potatoes and potatoes have been successfully planted, and now they are waiting to determine the yield.
Prince Zhongshun did not forget his purpose and said: "Brother Emperor, this is why I want to know what your plan is."
The emperor calmed down immediately, and now it is certain that Wang Tingxuan's identity will undergo earth-shaking changes in the near future. This change is different from other titles, and it can be said to be of great importance.
"I originally planned to marry the third princess to him, but now it seems that it is not appropriate."
King Zhongshun was surprised and said to the emperor: "That's right, brother. Please forgive me for taking the liberty. Under the premise that you have not determined the prince, Wang Tingxuan is indeed not suitable for Princess Shang. This is why I gave up marrying Zhaojing."
Give him the reason.”
The emperor nodded. If he promotes these two crops in the future, Wang Tingxuan will definitely gain great reputation. If he joins the team in the battle for the throne, there will be nothing to worry about other princes.
Unfortunately, the queen only has one son, the eldest prince, and no princess. The third princess and the second prince are siblings from the same mother.
This cannot be ignored.
As for King Zhongshun's ability to voluntarily give up his marriage to Wang Tingxuan, the emperor is still very satisfied. If King Zhongshun and Wang Tingxuan unite, it will pose a great threat to his imperial power.
Since Princess Zhaojing of King Zhongshun is not considered, it is even less likely that the emperor will consider his royal relatives. The emperor and King Zhongshun do not have a good impression of their royal relatives.
So many candidates were eliminated at once, and the emperor and King Zhongshun began to have a headache again. They didn't know much about the women in the backyard, so how could they choose the right candidate?
The two of them looked at each other for a while in the imperial study room, but couldn't make up their minds.
The emperor thought that these crops came from the West, and his heart moved.
"What do you think of the princess of Nan'an Palace?"
Four bastards?
King Zhongshun became confused. How could the emperor push Wang Tingxuan to the side of the four princes and eight princes?
"Why would the emperor think of his girl?"
The emperor said: "With wool, it is only a matter of time before the border problems in the north are solved. Seeing that you have found crops like sweet potatoes from the West, and what Wang Tingxuan once said, I want to focus on the West in the future."
"Almost all of the imperial navy is in the hands of the Prince of Nan'an. If Wang Tingxuan marries the Prince of Nan'an, it is possible to take back the military power from the Prince of Nan'an without any bloodshed."
King Zhongshun did not think so and said: "Brother, the navy in the south is the lifeblood of the Nan'an Palace. How could they give up willingly? According to my observation, the Nan'an Palace is not as miserable as the other four princes and eight princes. The biggest
The reason is to do business with Westerners. They will never give up the interests in their hands."
The emperor also had a headache and said: "If we can't take back the military power, how can we implement Xiangnan's plan? More importantly, Chu State's naval forces are not many in the first place, and they are all in the hands of the Nan'an Palace. Even if they suffer some losses,
It takes a lot of time to replenish it.”
King Zhongshun always felt that some of the issues were not figured out, so he said: "Brother, I think there is still a problem. For one thing, Princess Huo's reputation is not very good, and she is a bit arrogant and domineering. The Prince of Nan'an and the other four princes and eight princes
There is no difference. Even if you grant me a marriage, they may not be happy with it. Secondly, Wang Tingxuan also has his own ideas, and he may not be satisfied with this marriage."
"According to my brother's guess, the most likely thing is that both parties are dissatisfied. At that time, it can really be regarded as a feud. Of course, if you ask the Nan'an Palace to use a concubine to marry Wang Tingxuan, the Nan'an Palace will definitely be willing."
The emperor snorted coldly and said: "If it weren't for the military power of Nan'an Prince's Palace, I would not be willing to marry Wang Tingxuan to Princess Nan'an."
The emperor has also met Princess Huo, and is well aware of their family's intentions. They are targeting the next generation of princes.
The emperor would definitely not allow such a person to become the crown prince, and he would not even be willing to let such a person become the crown prince's concubine.
"Forget it, let me think about this matter again. Tell Tingxuan that I have my own plans regarding his marriage, and don't let him agree to others easily."
Only then did King Zhongshun remember it and said, "Even if I heard that Shui Rong planned to be a matchmaker for him, I came here to find you."
"Whose girl is Shui Rong going to be a matchmaker for?"
"The legitimate daughter of the third concubine of Duke Xiu's family."
"Arrogant and arrogant. Everyone with a little eye knows that Wang Tingxuan's future achievements are immeasurable, and the Hou family actually wants to use such an insignificant person to win over Wang Tingxuan."
King Zhongshun didn't care whether it was from the Hou family or not. What he cared about was whether the water could make it look ugly.
"Brother Imperial, shouldn't you angrily rebuke Shui Rong for his behavior? Why don't you send someone to reprimand him?"
The emperor chuckled and said: "Don't make too much trouble with Shui Rong, I will use him to win over those fools. He has taken away those people with ulterior motives, so it will be easier for me to employ people."
