After Chu Yi returned to Beijing, Jinshang had plans to let his only son Chu Yi enter the court. However, the family headed by the Yuan family objected on the grounds that "Chu Yi had lived in Yue for a long time and had not completed his studies." The Yuan family also took the initiative to recommend Chu Yi to Jinshang. The choice of Taifu.

As a result, the court started arguing over who should be the eldest prince's tutor, and the dispute has not yet come to an end.

Ever since Chu You met the emperor and Chu Yi in the palace three days ago, Chu You had thought that the only condition for the emperor to come forward to complete the marriage was to relent on this matter.

Chu You knew that if he did this, it would disrupt the current balance in the court and even damage the situation that his father had carefully planned for him when he was still alive.

He had been thinking about this matter these days, but before he could think about it, he was caught off guard by the British government's move today.

He can't wait any longer!

Chu You's heart tightened, his eyes darkened, and he repeated in a firm tone: "I want Chu Yi to enter the court."

"..." After a brief shock, Yuan Zhe calmed down and understood: Chu You most likely did this for the girl of the Gu family.

Yuan Zhe tightened his lips and turned the wine glass in his hand noncommittally, with obvious disapproval in his expression.

Even though he was unhappy, his expression remained calm and collected.

The Yuan family is an aristocratic family that has lasted for more than three hundred years. It ranks at the bottom of the four great aristocratic families: Wang, Xie, Xiao, and Yuan. It was not until the past twenty years that the situation changed.

When the late emperor was still alive, the Empress Dowager Yuan and Prince Kang's mother and son were favored. The late emperor vigorously supported the Yuan family, which made the Yuan family vaguely overpower the other three aristocratic families.

Both Emperor Taizu and Jin Shang intended to suppress the aristocratic families, so the aristocratic families, including the Yuan family, had become one in recent years, betting on King Kang and placing high hopes on him.

King Kang has half of the blood of the aristocratic family, which they regard as the most noble. Only when King Kang succeeds to the throne can these aristocratic families regain their glory and return to the glorious era of being "the leader of a dynasty".

This time Yuan Zhe came all the way from Yuzhou to the capital on the orders of his father and ancestors, just to assist King Kang and to help King Kang reach a higher level.

Now they have finally suppressed Jin Shang. If King Kang takes the initiative to give in to Jin Shang at this critical moment for the sake of a woman or a personal relationship, wouldn't it be like ruining the current good situation!!

Even if Yuan Zhe didn't say anything, Chu You knew what he was thinking, and calmly uttered shocking words: "Chu Yi's life will soon be over."

Yuan Zhe was startled again and asked: "What's going on?"

Chu You personally filled up Yuan Zhe's wine, and then continued: "Chu Yi was not full-term when he was born. He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has been lingering on the sickbed. According to the news from the Yue Kingdom, he has been sick in the Yue Kingdom for the past eight years. It’s not getting better either, it’s like growing up in a medicine jar.”

"After he returned to China last month, my imperial brother has already visited him several times as an imperial doctor. The palace is always filled with the fragrance of medicine."

While talking, Chu You closed the window, blocking out the noise in the lobby downstairs, and the private seats became much quieter.

While listening, Yuan Zhe sipped his wine, his eyes were steady, and he cautiously questioned: "Your Highness, is the eldest prince pretending to be ill?"

"No." A firm smile appeared on Chu You's lips, his eyes were sharp, and he whispered, "After Chu Yi returned to Beijing, the imperial physician ordered him to diagnose his pulse and prescribe prescriptions in person. However, a few days ago, the imperial physician ordered I have a heart ailment, so five days ago Imperial Physician Yan came into the palace to check Chu Yi’s pulse.”

"The Imperial Physician Yan said that Chu Yi's lifespan is not long, and he will probably die earlier than my imperial brother."

When he said the last sentence, Chu You's smile deepened by three points.

Sometimes, he had to admit that he still underestimated his imperial brother. His only son was about to die soon, but Chu Qi could still be so calm, without showing any signs of expression, and without any flaws.

Chu You's slender fingers gently fiddled with the rim of the wine glass a few times, his eyes darkening.

Yuan Zhe had met the Holy Spirit three times since he came to Beijing, and he also thought of going together with Chu You. He thought for a while, and then said quietly: "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial. Can you confirm whether it is reliable?"

"Reliable." Chu You nodded slightly and narrowed his narrow eagle eyes.

What he didn't say was that the Yan family had something in his hands, which meant that he had control over the lives of the whole family. Doctor Yan would never dare to play tricks with him.

In the private seats, it became quiet.

Yuan Zhe drank in silence. After drinking two glasses in a row, he relaxed slightly: "If this is the case, it's not impossible..."

When Chu You heard this, he was very happy.

In this matter, he must get the support of the Yuan family and let the Yuan family deal with it.

Chu You collected his thoughts and continued: "Cousin, now the world is divided into three parts: noble families, noble families, and poor families. This balance has been maintained for decades. It seems stable, but it can be broken at any time."

As Chu You said, the forces in the court are now mainly divided into aristocratic families, nobles and powerful officials from poor families. Those nobles represented by the Fang family, Li family, etc. are in charge of military power. The ancestors of these people basically followed the Tai. Emperor Taizu conquered the world, and they only obeyed Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu personally selected him, so most of them preferred his father and son.

As for those powerful officials from poor families, these people are all scholars, most of whom have ordinary backgrounds. Because Emperor Taizu vigorously promoted the imperial examination system, these talents were able to leap over the dragon gate and join the court. These scholars are full of Confucius and Mencius, and they pay attention to the inheritance system of the eldest son. They are extremely pedantic. .

"The aristocratic family is currently in a stalemate with the humble family and nobles, but it cannot remain stalemate forever. Taking a step back is also to let them know that this king is tolerant."

In the past few years, due to the intentional actions of the late emperor, the status of the Yuan family and other aristocratic families continued to rise. However, the status of the Yuan family and other aristocratic families continued to rise. However, it was the interests of the poor families and the nobles that were harmed, and the wealthy families also stood on the opposite side of the humble families and the nobles. .

"Cousin, my father is no longer here, and now it is Chu Qi who is sitting on the throne. We cannot blindly fight with the nobles. The Han family is so deadlocked. Now is an excellent time for Chu Yi to enter the court." Chu You looked at Yuan Zhe, who was across the table from him, without blinking.

The eyes of the two cousins ​​met in mid-air, one was strong and the other was gentle.

Chu You made no secret of the ambition in his eyes, like an aggressive wild leopard.

Yuan Zhe's face was expressionless at first, and he stared at Chu You quietly for a moment. Gradually, a little light appeared in his eyes.

As a king, King Kang's strength and ambition are necessary. If he blindly obeys, he will be just a docile sheep. How can he compete with the emperor for the world!

Moreover, as King Kang said just now, now is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to break the deadlock between him and the distinguished and humble family.
