Emperor Rende looked at Qi Shiqi's back as he left the royal study, and was lost for a while. It was not until his back completely disappeared that he came back to his senses.
Qi Shiqi just asked him to give him a favor, and the favor he asked for was to let the Tian family and his daughter live in Prince Xian's Mansion. He couldn't help but laugh.
It was a great gift for the royal family and nobles to stoop down and live in the farmyard. He had never heard of anyone asking the royal family to repay the "favor". These seventeen were getting more and more eccentric.
However, he emphatically mentioned the girl from the Tian family twice, this?
Emperor Rende stroked the beard on his chin, and his gleaming longan revealed some intriguing eyes. Was it simply to repay a favor, or for something else?
He thought for a while and shouted into the air: "Shadow."
Almost at the same time, a gray-black figure flashed out from the corner and knelt on the ground: "Master."
"Go and check the Tian family." Emperor Rende ordered calmly.
"Yes." The shadow responded respectfully, then disappeared again with a hiss.
Emperor Rende stroked the wolf-hair brush at his hand and murmured: "Xiao Qi, it's not what my brother thinks, is it?"
Qi Shiqi, who was being talked about, was being escorted out of the palace by Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao's back was slightly bumpy, but he was still in good spirits.
"Eunuch Gao, you have been with the emperor for many years. I see that the emperor's spirit is not as good as before. You should pay more attention to serving him. No matter how busy the state is, there are ministers. Can you give me more advice? Why don't you support them?
"Qi Shiqi said calmly.
Eunuch Gao's heart warmed slightly, and he said respectfully: "What the prince is saying is that if the princes were like the prince and only cared about the emperor's body, instead of... Your Majesty, the emperor actually hopes that the prince will help with political affairs."
Qi Shiqi paused and snorted coldly: "Brother Huang is now in his prime. They are fighting to the death for that position, and they are not afraid of being disheartened."
Eunuch Gao remained silent. The emperor had eight princes and four princesses, not counting those who died young and grew up. The eldest prince, Qi Jin, was already twenty, one year younger than the prince, and the youngest prince
, only eight years old, still a child.
Who should be appointed as the prince? If the eldest son is established according to the principle of establishing the eldest son, the eldest prince born by the queen should be the first prince, Qi Jin. Otherwise, the five princes born from the same mother should be the same.
Concubines are not counted, only those with both talent and virtue should be chosen as kings.
Nowadays, the eldest prince Qi Jin is eager for quick success. Although he has strategies, he lacks patience. Moreover, he also heard that there was once a palace maid who just said that the eldest prince was not as handsome as the second prince, and he was executed in a hurry. Although this matter was
The Queen suppressed it, but it wasn't like there was no news coming out.
A ruler who is too cruel will only chill the hearts of his ministers and people. This is why the emperor does not like the eldest prince, even though he has been repairing his lost reputation for cruelty.
As for the other princes, the second prince was born to Concubine Rong. He was nineteen years old, and his uncle's family was also the left prime minister. Moreover, the second prince was full of talents and regarded benevolence and filial piety as a way of life. He had won the hearts of many ministers. The most powerful and the eldest prince
Compete.
The third prince, Qi Yuan, is eighteen years old. He is kind and intelligent. His biological mother is Concubine Xian, one of the four concubines. Prince Xian is the best friend. Unfortunately, he is a born cripple. And how can a monarch raise a lame person? Moreover, the three princes are crippled.
The prince had no thoughts about his position, he only wanted to compile books.
The fourth prince, Qi Ping, was seventeen years old. He was a talented general, brave and resourceful, but he had a hot and rebellious temper. His biological mother was a low-ranking Rong Hua, but he was from the family of his in-law, but he was the right minister, and the fourth princess was the right minister.
The third daughter of the prime minister.
The fifth prince, Qi Hui, was seventeen years old and the second son of the queen. He had an impulsive and perverse temper, and was pampered by the queen to no end. He had a lot of concubines in the house, and he could not be a king beyond his virtue. He only stood by the side of the eldest prince.
The seventh prince, Qi Zhong, is fifteen years old, with mediocre qualifications and shoddy temperament. His biological mother, Jie Yu, is dependent on the queen.
The eighth prince, Qi Zhi, was fifteen years old and a well-known dandy prince in Kyoto. His biological mother was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Weiwu, for which he was often scolded by the emperor.
The eleventh prince, Qi Jing, is the youngest prince alive today. He is only eight years old. He is very talented and has inherited the appearance of his mother, who is as beautiful as a girl. His mother is the prefect of Jiangnan, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan.
The female Xia Junhe is now Concubine Hui.
There are countless nepotism connections behind each prince, including his mother's family and his in-law's family, which can be said to influence the whole body.
Therefore, in every dynasty, people are killed when fighting for power, and if you want to ascend to the throne of God, you have to step on blood. Otherwise, how can there be a saying that one general can make thousands of bones wither?
"It concerns the country, the country, the country, and the emperor does not dare to be careless. If the prince..."
Eunuch Gao had just begun to speak, but Qi Shiqi stopped him: "Stop, Eunuch Gao, don't say anything more. I want my king to help me read these words. Whoever you want to appoint, the emperor has his own plans."
"This old slave has exceeded the rules." Eunuch Gao said in fear.
"Isn't this the seventeenth brother?" A gust of fragrant wind came, mixed with a voice that sounded both surprised and happy.
Qi Shiqi's peach blossom eyes narrowed. The woman was wearing twelve palace attires, with a long trail behind her. The clothes were embroidered with a vivid phoenix. She spread her wings and was about to fly. She looked graceful and luxurious. And she was wearing a flying comb.
On the top of the bun, there is an exquisite phoenix hairpin inserted diagonally, and a thumb-sized Dongzhu hangs in the phoenix mouth, which is extremely precious.
With this outfit, who else could it be if she wasn’t the current queen of the palace?
Qi Shiqi raised his eyelids and raised his hands: "Qi Qi has met the Queen."
Empress Qiu saw the coldness and alienation in his tone, her smile froze slightly, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile and said with a concerned look: "I haven't seen you for a while. The seventeenth brother seems to have lost some of his time. You are alone all the time.
There is no one to take care of you, let alone your imperial brother, even I, the imperial sister-in-law, feel distressed when I see you."
"Thank you, Queen, for your concern."
"You are only one year older than Jin'er. Now Jin's son Xi is almost four years old, but you haven't got married yet. I am really worried. It is also a coincidence that I held a flower banquet not long ago. Look,
There are several young ladies with both talents and political integrity. When Shi Qi returns to the palace, I will hold another snow appreciation banquet and invite the noble ladies in the city. Brother Seventeen will meet one and give birth to an heir as soon as possible. Brother Seventeen, look
How?" Queen Qiu said sincerely, but if you look carefully, there is deep resentment in her eyes.
Qi Shiqi raised his eyes and smiled faintly: "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness. I heard that Uncle Qiu Guo lost his son in old age. It is really a pity. It would be better if Queen Queen gave one or two noble girls to serve my uncle."
Give birth to an heir."
After hearing this, Queen Qiu's expression changed drastically. She also clenched her hands hidden under her sleeves, her nails pinched into her palms, and her breathing became rapid.
However, Qi Shiqi didn't wait for her to speak, and said: "The queen is going to visit the emperor's brother. My brother has something to do, so let's go first." After that, he walked away.
Queen Qiu glared at Qi Shiqi's back hatefully. He did it on purpose, deliberately opening her wounds to see her bloody misery.
Qi Qi, I will never let go of my revenge for killing my nephew.
Because it’s not a house fight and a palace fight, I don’t plan to write too much about the palace affairs.
