Chapter 46 The position of Crown Prince is decided by Your Majesty!
"Thank you for your forgiveness, sir." Zhao Gao said respectfully.
Hu Hai shook his head boredly.
Then he said:
"Zhao Qing, there are still a few things I don't understand."
"You asked me to read the laws and regulations familiarly because my father admires the rule of law. This is no problem. My father also praised me for memorizing the laws and regulations well, but what's the point of playing with Yin Man?"
"She is just a little girl, she doesn't understand anything."
"You don't have much influence in the court, and you can't help me fight for the position of crown prince. You asked me to deliberately play with her and build a good relationship with her. What's the purpose of this?"
"I feel like it's completely unnecessary."
Zhao Gao bowed and said:
"Young Master, you made a mistake."
"Making a good marriage with Princess Yinman will be very helpful to the young master."
"Princess Yinman seems to have little influence, but that is not the case. Her mother-in-law is Mrs. Mi, and Mrs. Mi is from the lineage of Queen Mother Xuan. This lineage may not seem famous, but it is closely related to many old clans in Guanzhong.
, these old clans will more or less sell her a thin noodle."
"The master's background is not bad."
"For the lineage of Queen Mother Zhao."
"When His Majesty first ascended the throne, the court was ruled by the Queen Mother Huayang. The Queen Mother Zhao did not have much say in the court, so there were not many people close to the Queen Mother Zhao in the court."
"With His Majesty taking charge, the situation in the court has changed."
"In order to balance the court in the early years, His Majesty also made some changes, vigorously promoting non-Chu clan and non-Guanzhong clan officials, such as the fifth official Zhao Hai, general Ren Xiao, etc., were all promoted during that time. These
Most officials are close to the Queen Mother Zhao."
"That is, someone who is close to the young master."
"However, the official positions of these officials are still too low. They will not be able to compete with the old clans in Guanzhong and the Chu officials in a short period of time. If the prince wants to compete for the position of crown prince, he must try his best to win the support of these officials."
"And in recent years, the older prince has won over most of the Chu officials."
"However, because the eldest son comes from the lineage of the Queen Mother of Huayang, he has never been recognized by the old clan in Guanzhong, so he has never been established as the crown prince by His Majesty. This just gives the young master the opportunity to turn things around."
"If the young master wants to be established as the crown prince by His Majesty, he must win over enough Guanzhong clans, and Princess Yinman is the best entry point at present."
Hu Hai nodded in understanding.
Zhao Gao continued:
"Young Master is still young, but you don't know some things."
"In addition to being a deliberate show of goodwill to the old clan in Guanzhong, I asked the young master to get close to Princess Yinman. Another key point is that Princess Yinman is deeply loved by the First Emperor."
"Princess Yinman's favor is different from that of the young master."
"She is more of a loving person."
"Master, do you still remember that Princess Yinman has a brother?"
Hu Hai's pupils shrank.
He recalled some scenes from when he first remembered them.
Although Fusu was the eldest son, when he remembered, Fusu had already started to help his father handle government affairs, and basically never played with his younger brothers and sisters. At that time, it was actually another brother who had been taking care of them.
.
That is, Ying Yinman's brother.
Ying Si Nian!
"Of course you remember, my tenth emperor brother."
"but......"
"He is dead!!!"
After saying that, Hu Hai sighed softly, his eyelids drooped, and his head drooped. He still missed the scene very much. At that time, he was only two or three years old, and he was running around behind Ying Snian all day long. Although
I ran staggeringly, but I felt extremely happy.
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes into a slit.
whispered:
"It is this tenth prince."
"At that time, he was regarded as the best candidate for the crown prince of Qin."
"If nothing happened to him, the other princes would have no chance to compete for the throne. Even the eldest prince, Fusu, would not have dared to reveal any ulterior motives at that time."
"But something happened to him!"
"He died in Xianyang Palace, in front of His Majesty."
"And Your Majesty feels guilty for the death of the tenth prince. This guilt will eventually be transferred to his love for Princess Yinman. The young master and Princess Yinman are close friends. If your majesty finds out, he will definitely look at the young master differently."
"As long as Your Majesty is satisfied with the young master, even if the support behind the young master is not as strong as that of the eldest son, the young master will still be a strong contender for the position of crown prince."
"after all......"
"The position of Crown Prince is determined by Your Majesty!"
Hu Hai yawned and said impatiently:
"I see."
"You just want me to continue playing with Yin Man. I will go find her when I have time. It's getting late, so you should go back first."
"I am sleepy."
Hear the words.
Zhao Gao's expression froze.
But he managed his expression very well and did not show his dissatisfaction. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said respectfully to Hu Hai: "In this case, the young master should rest early, and I will retire first."
Finished.
He also retreated slowly.
But when he walked to the door, there was a hint of disdain deep in his eyes.
But it quickly disappeared.
...
The next day.
The two of them waited at the exit of Lishan Forbidden Garden for a whole night, breathing in the heat, rubbing their palms and stamping their feet.
I waited from dusk until noon the next day.
But he never waited for Qin Luoheng.
A minister who really couldn't bear the cold said:
"Parents, is it possible that the boy knows that we are guarding outside and is afraid to come out? How long has it been? The classroom has already been in class for half a day."
"This kid would have come out a long time ago."
He also had some doubts.
He looked at the empty road.
He asked: "You have been guarding here? Didn't you really see that kid come out?"
Li Chen shook his head.
"No."
"I'm sure of this."
"Only the prisoners and the guards watching the prisoners have entered the road we are guarding today, and no one has come out until now."
"but......"
"Did that kid run away from somewhere else?"
"This Lishan Mountain is so big, there will be no small roads if it is not protected."
He frowned.
He also felt something was wrong.
If Qin Luoheng really wants to come out, it is impossible for him to not show up until now, and the courses in the school are so heavy, it is almost impossible for him to not go to school.
Then there is only one possibility.
Qin Luoheng slipped out from somewhere else.
Think of this.
His heart was instantly filled with anger.
They were fooled!
They stayed there all night in the ice and snow, and endured the cold all night, but in the end they got nothing.
This comparison.
It seems that they are extremely stupid.
He stood up straight and looked around.
Cursed:
"My mother's maid."
"How dare you play tricks on me?"
"You really think I'm stupid, don't you?"
"You'd better pray that you don't get caught by me, or I'll break your legs!"
"What are you still doing here?"
"Everyone ran away!"
"A bunch of trash, you can't keep an eye on anyone, so what's the use of you?"
"Go back quickly and guard the city gate!"
"If I hadn't caught this kid today, I would have skinned you all. You are such a bunch of idiots, and I was left freezing here all night for nothing."
"damn thing!"
After scolding him several times, he stamped his feet and rushed towards Xianyang.
