Chapter 136 The first prince and concubine thought about it behind closed doors
In other words, as long as the eldest prince doesn't make any big mistakes and he has a noble concubine as his mother-in-law, he is destined to be everyone's blocker - all eyes are on him. It's okay if he doesn't make any mistakes.
If he makes a mistake, everyone wants to step on him.
The second prince Li Jin is different. His mother-in-law was born as a foot-washing maid, and later she was promoted to a concubine and became the master of the first palace.
Concubine Fu was not of high birth, but she had an outstanding son. This was a disadvantage, but it was also an advantage - no matter how outstanding the second prince was, as long as he did not violate Emperor Mingguang's taboos, Emperor Mingguang was not afraid that he would give birth to something he shouldn't have.
Born ambition.
After all, there was a seemingly mediocre but faultless eldest prince standing in front of the second prince.
"My son has met my father. Long live my father. Long live my father."
"Get up and take a bite."
"Thank you, Father."
Emperor Mingguang stood on top, looked down at the eldest prince, and asked: "What do you want to do when you enter the palace so late?"
"Father, this is about hundreds of lives. Please step aside."
Upon hearing that the eldest prince was so serious, Emperor Mingguang raised his head and motioned for the people in the room to get down. Of course, Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch, stayed behind as a close confidant of Emperor Mingguang.
"Father, this is a letter written in blood with Mrs. Yao of the Viscount Palace. Please have your father read it." The eldest prince didn't waste any time and handed the things directly to Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li took it and checked it before sending it to the case of Emperor Mingguang.
With a flash of his peripheral vision, he glanced at the contents of the blood book and was shocked.
--How can it be?!
——The King of Zhennan...
Eunuch Li didn't dare to think about anything else.
After seeing this blood letter and its contents, Emperor Mingguang's face finally showed some cracks.
Compared to Eunuch Li, who only caught a glimpse of his name, Emperor Mingguang saw more. As a king with a different surname, King Zhennan had different intentions. Emperor Mingguang did not mean it, but he never expected that King Zhennan would have such a different intention.
He was so courageous that he "used his power to oppress others" under his nose, tried to steal other people's money, and even tried to...
"Is everything in this letter true?"
Emperor Mingguang was not interested in those "twelve spices" and "cool oil", but this cowpox that can prevent and cure smallpox...
Oh My God?!
If word spreads throughout the world that King Zhennan can cure cowpox, will he still be able to secure the throne under his butt?
You know, it was smallpox. Once you get it, you will definitely die. There is no cure for smallpox.
"I don't know, I just got this blood letter. Now there is a big commotion in the capital. The Gu family divorced their wives today, and the Gu family members returned home with their underage children... If the father doesn't believe it, you can send someone to inquire about this matter.
Everyone in the capital knows about it." The eldest prince lowered his head and did not mention the rumors in the capital that the reason why the Gu family wanted to fix their wives was actually forced by the eldest prince.
The eldest prince knew that the reason why the rumors spread so quickly must be the work of others.
Those people are eager for his downfall as soon as possible. As long as they grasp his handle, they will grab him hard and drag him into the water immediately.
Emperor Mingguang will investigate this kind of thing on his own, and he doesn't need to say much. He just needs to say what he knows - the Gu family's divorce has nothing to do with him, it's just to avoid disaster.
The Yao family had such a "wonderful prescription" and were about to hand it over to the Tian family, but before they could take action, they were framed and thrown into prison, and the entire family was inevitably spared.
The Yao family didn't know what happened, but the other party didn't mention anything about "cowpox" and only mentioned formulas such as "Twelve Flower Fairies", "Twelve Fragrances", "Cool Oil", etc., which had to make the Yao family suspicious——
Could it be that that recipe has been discovered by someone?!
They were frightened. They were loyal and only wanted to serve the Heavenly Family. However, they did not want to encounter such a disaster. They were afraid that if they were too late, they would not be able to tell the Emperor. So they could only take the wrong approach and seek a "loyalty and filial piety".
Mrs. Yao lamented the loyalty of the Yao family in the blood letter. She did not ask for "innocence", but only hoped that their "loyalty" would enable the people of the world to avoid the suffering of smallpox and to be loyal to the emperor without regrets even if they died.
In the letter, Mrs. Yao wrote that she had foreseen the fate of the Yao family and was afraid that she would have escaped death. But it didn't matter, the Yao family was not afraid of death. Since the Yao family's ancestors followed the late emperor, they fought in all directions, throwing their heads and spilling their blood.
From the beginning, the Yao family was loyal to the Tian family, and no one was afraid of death.
I only hope that one day, the Tian family can restore the "innocence" of the Yao family, so that they can have the honor to meet the ancestors of the Yao family underground and say: "Ancestors, children and grandchildren have not damaged the reputation of the Yao family."
Not to mention how touched Emperor Guang was when he saw the "loyalty" of the Yao family ended up like that, but there were people under his nose who dared to seize the credit of the Tian family. This matter had to be dealt with by Ming Guang.
The emperor was shocked.
With such a plot, what does the King of Zhennan want to do?
Does he want to overthrow the world?
"I'm afraid he wants to sit in my position!"
Emperor Mingguang slapped his hand on the table, furious.
The eldest prince knelt down and did not dare to speak at all.
The generals who followed the late emperor in his expeditions to the north and south were rewarded based on their merits, and several of them were given the title of king with a different surname.
Back then, the late emperor granted the title simply, but when his descendants succeeded to the throne, they suffered a lot - the king with a different surname had military power and was quite powerful. Consciously, it was fine, but unconsciously, he was even more majestic than the princes of the Tian family like them.
.
As soon as Emperor Mingguang came to power, he caught some kings with different surnames in the wrong place, took them to the market, and had their heads chopped off.
Later, these kings with different surnames became more obedient.
Among them, King Zhennan was particularly discerning and was praised by Emperor Mingguang and received several awards.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, the King of Zhennan would actually...
Without saying a word, Emperor Mingguang handed over the safety of the Gu family to the eldest prince and asked him to take good care of them. Then he summoned his trusted generals Jiang Yi, Dali Temple She Hongwen and others to enter the palace.
That night, the two of them were ordered to leave the capital, but no one knew their whereabouts.
The next day, Emperor Mingguang got angry at the court and cursed that the eldest prince was nothing and could not even take care of his own women. He actually "bullied others" and forced the Gu family to divorce his wife. What does it look like?
He asked the eldest princess to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, and asked the eldest prince to take care of the family in person to "apologise" to him. He told him when to smooth over the matter and when to return to the prince's palace. Otherwise, he, the eldest prince, should not be regarded as such.
It is directly confirmed that such a big commotion in the Gu family is the fault of the First Prince's Mansion.
"Puch...I knew that the eldest brother is so stupid, sooner or later he will make a mistake. Did you see it? You can't hold it in anymore, right?"
"Okay, don't laugh. Didn't you see that my father just scolded my eldest brother and didn't punish him much? I really didn't realize that my father was quite tolerant of his eldest brother. It's all making trouble.
It's such a big deal, but I haven't punished him yet..."
"How to punish her? No one was killed. To be fair, the Gu family was too timid to divorce her. Who is to blame? It's not like the eldest brother put a knife on the Gu family's neck to divorce her."
"However, if the eldest prince's position in the heart of the father is still quite important, all of you here can..." The implication is obvious, if the eldest prince has a place in the heart of Emperor Mingguang, then the position of the prince will also belong to everyone.
share?
For a while, everyone was silent.
We are all adult princes and royal nobles. No one is more noble than the other. Why should I let you sit in that position?
There are many princes who are unconvinced and want to compete.
