There are currently four princes among the sons of the old emperor, namely Prince Cheng, the third prince, Prince Yong, the fourth prince, Prince Heng, the fifth prince, and the newly promoted Prince Chun, the seventh prince.
However, the third, fourth and fifth sons are not hereditary princes.
When their son ascends to the throne, he can only move down one level and ascend to the title of Duke.
Then, descendants will be reduced one level each generation.
Finally, the title of Duke of Fengenzhen was passed down from generation to generation as a hereditary and irreplaceable title.
However, Lao Qi is different.
The title of Prince Chun, Xu Xi III, means that the son, grandson and great-grandson of Lao Qi, these three generations, can all inherit the title of Prince Chun.
Hey, Lao Qi’s advantage is really huge!
Yuzhu did not expect that the old emperor would be unusually generous to Lao Qi.
Originally, Yuzhu actually wanted to wait for Lao Wu to help him out of trouble, and then give Lao Wu a super gift package to help Hong Hao get Baile or Bei Viscount.
Who would have thought that Lao Wu was so honest that he never thought of this.
Unexpectedly, Lao Qi, who had always been quiet before, was brave enough to take the initiative to stand up.
This man, when his luck comes, even the door panel can’t stop him!
To be honest, if Lao Ba came to the cabinet, Yu Zhu would not dare to take him to Changchun Garden.
The two sons of Lao Shiba call Yuzhu uncle. This is not a fake uncle-nephew relationship like Longkodo and Lao Si, but real uncles and nephews.
Alas, this relationship is too close!
If Lao Shiba and Yu Zhu broke into the palace together, the old emperor would definitely be shocked, thinking that they were here to kill the emperor and seize power.
By that time, it would be a minor matter for Lao Ba to be deprived of his title and dismissed from office. There is a high probability that he would be imprisoned by the old emperor for killing the chicken to show the monkeys.
I think back then, when General Wei Qing's sister was the queen and his nephew was the crown prince, he just didn't dare to act arrogantly with his tail between his legs.
In essence, the situations of Yuzhu and Wei Qing are quite similar.
On the other hand, it's different for Lao Qi. The disability of being born lame is his best protective barrier and Yuzhu's best shield.
Since breaking into the palace, the speed of the old emperor's review of memorials has obviously accelerated. All the memorials of the day were approved on the same day without exception.
Even a fool can guess that the information approved by Changchun Garden must have been written by Hong Xi, and the old emperor was just using his name.
In this way, Hongxi's stance on taking over the reins of power suddenly became much clearer.
"Haha, Dong Weng, what we need is this kind of clarity. The clearer the better!" Zhou Quan shook his folding fan and smiled happily.
Yuzhu also smiled slightly. He took Lao Qi to the palace. Was it really just a palace invasion?
The old emperor was indeed ill, but he was not seriously ill.
At this time, the old emperor was particularly sensitive, perverted, and paranoid.
Yuzhu knew this very well, so he did not dare to easily provoke the old emperor, but silently waited for a perfect opportunity.
Taking Lao Qi into the palace, the old emperor saw what he wanted to see: Yuzhu was as loyal as ever!
As long as Yuzhu had no objection, the old emperor could safely push Hongxi to the front desk.
However, once the situation became clear, the chain reaction it would bring was beyond the old emperor's full control.
"Dong Weng, Yi Lin'a, the deputy commander of Fengtai Camp, held a secret banquet in another courtyard last night. In addition to the leading generals of Fengtai Camp, those present included several people from the infantry yamen." Zhou Quan detailed.
reported a new situation.
Regarding the people in the Bujun Yamen who attended the meeting last night, Yuzhu was somewhat surprised.
You know, those people are all the confidants promoted by Long Keduo!
"Brother Zhusheng, please go there yourself and secretly inform Layman Xueqin that there are some strong medicines that should be administered!" Yuzhu narrowed his eyes, touched his chin and thought carefully for a while, before making a decisive decision.
Lay Buddhist Xueqin sounds like a woman’s name.
So far, apart from Yuzhu, the only person who knows the details of Layman Xueqin is Zhou Quan.
Due to Yuzhu's cautious personality, Zhou Quan has always been responsible for the one-way communication with Layman Xueqin.
So far, all the traps Yuzhu has laid out more than ten years in advance have been in the form of single-line connections.
The historical lesson of arresting one person and bringing down the whole family is so profound that Yuzhu has to guard against it!
Zhou Quan nodded and said: "Last time, when I went to contact the layman Xueqin, I found that the toes of the Arhat at the front were stained with a little loess, so I pretended to be worshiping the Buddha and went straight to the abbot."
Yuzhu showed a knowing smile. There were more than twenty clay sculptures of Arhats in a row. Who could have imagined that they were doing tricks on the toes of a completely unrelated Arhat?
Before Zhou Quan and layman Xueqin met, they had to check three warning signals.
Whenever the police were called, Zhou Quan was just an ordinary pilgrim mixed in with the crowd.
About half a month later, Zhang Tingyu returned to Beijing according to the order.
The old emperor summoned him in Qingxi Bookstore.
"Chen Heng, your political achievements in Jiangnan have been very good, which is really gratifying!" The old emperor praised Zhang Tingyu with a smile.
Zhang Tingyu quickly kowtowed and said humbly: "The humble minister just did a little bit of his hard-working royal duties. How dare you take credit?"
The old emperor knew very well that Zhang Tingyu's cautious temperament was very similar to his father Zhang Ying.
I think back then, Zhang Ying was famous for being a talkative person in Nan Study. He only knew how to work and never gossiped.
Last time, Zhang Tingyu was taken out of the capital by Yuzhu and transferred to the governor of Jiangsu, with the purpose of letting him make money back.
According to Zhang Tingyu's original intention, he would definitely not be willing to offend the great Confucian scholars and Jin gentry in Jiangnan.
However, most of the top-quality paddy fields in Jiangsu Province are in the hands of the Confucian scholars and country gentry.
If Zhang Tingyu wants to achieve political achievements, he must re-examine the land and collect all the land taxes that the great scholars and gentry have escaped into the vassal treasury.
Perhaps it was the fourth son who said hello. Zhang Tingyu, who had never offended anyone easily before, while gaining political achievements, also completely offended Jiangnan Shilin.
Speaking of which, Jiangnan Shilin was tortured many times by Zhang Tingyu and Yuzhu. It was really unlucky!
"Heng Chen, you came back at the right time this time. Just stay in Qingxi Bookstore and help Hong Xi." The old emperor revealed his tone a little, and Zhang Tingyu immediately realized that the fourth child was most worried about.
It's about to happen.
As a confidant of the Fourth Master Party, Zhang Tingyu knows better than anyone else that the harm of the old emperor's establishment of the old fourteenth is far less than that of replacing Hong Xi.
The reason is actually very simple. Yuzhu and Lao Shisi are sworn enemies.
If the imperial edict passes the throne to the Fourteenth, then the probability that the Fourth will convince Yuzhu is at least greater than 80%!
However, if Hongxi is made the grandson of the emperor, the fourth child will have to find a way to get rid of Yuzhu at the most critical moment!
The first update has been delivered, and the excitement is still going on, with each link being progressively improved. However, the monthly ticket is a bit impractical.
Alas, the monthly ticket has expired and is invalid, so I can’t keep it to give birth to cubs?
Why don't we all reward the hard-working little Zhuzhu, Zha Qian, please say hello!
