Mingwei was extremely surprised: "How did you impress Prince Fu, sir? His family seems to have always been careless."
Fu Jin smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? The King of Fortune's family suddenly gained wealth and honor. What do you think their family is most afraid of?"
Mingwei thought for a while: "Since we are Chad, are we afraid that we will lose it suddenly?"
Fu Jindao: "His family has always been self-aware, so they never get involved in these things. But where did this wealth come from, how could Prince Fu not know it? It was Emperor Taizu's kindness that made them what they are today. To put it bluntly, it's
It’s just a little bit of affection.”
Mingwei still couldn't figure it out: "Whether Prince An ascends the throne or the fourth prince establishes the throne, Prince Fu's reputation is still stable. How can you persuade Sir?"
Fu Jin smiled and stretched out two fingers: "To move with emotion, to understand with reason."
The so-called love refers to the love between Emperor Taizu and his brothers.
In the past, Old King Fu helped Emperor Taizu a lot, which shows that he was a kind man. When all three princes died that year, Old King Fu didn't say anything about it, but that doesn't mean he wasn't heartbroken.
Now that King Xin has committed treason and is punished by death, and the eldest prince is a ruthless and stupid person, King An breaks his leg again. How is it similar to before?
As for the truth, it's even simpler.
The original King Zhao was already an adult, but now the fourth prince is only eleven years old.
Without a queen mother, a queen, or even a mother's family with a strong background, even if the fourth prince ascended the throne, he would be just a puppet, and the imperial power would inevitably fall by the wayside.
This imperial power belongs to the Jiang family. Prince Fu himself does not want it, but he cannot watch it fall into the hands of others.
After hearing this, Mingwei sighed: "After all, King Fu is still kind."
"Yes." Fu Jin agreed, "He is a kind and understanding person. If you want your family to continue to be stable, you must let the Jiang family continue to be stable."
As for whether the emperor's side succeeds to the throne or the prince's side, is there any difference?
The one who was kind to King Fu was Emperor Taizu, and they are all descendants.
"But, isn't King Fu alone not enough?" Mingwei worried, "When the emperor has a son, it is too rare to establish a separate branch, unless there is an overwhelming advantage."
Fu Jin smiled and said, "Miss Ming, you seem to have underestimated us!"
"oh?"
Fu Jin stroked his neatly trimmed beard and said proudly: "These five years have not been in vain for us. Although I have never entered the court, my disciples are all over the court. Zhang Tan chose to lie dormant, which is his biggest
It's his fault. This Yunjing is no longer the Yunjing he thought he was."
…
As soon as King Fu said these words, the situation became even more confusing.
Some people support the fourth prince and believe that King An is no longer worthy of being the heir, so in order, it is natural for the fourth prince to ascend to the throne.
Some people supported King An, feeling that the emperor had worked hard to train him for two years and could not give up easily. His leg injury was not incurable.
Some people even thought that what Prince Fu said was reasonable and that neither side worked, so they proposed the eldest prince.
As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was ridiculed by both parties.
"The eldest prince? Has Mr. Wu lost his mind and gone crazy? He has forgotten how the eldest prince was deposed? How can such an unscrupulous person shoulder the responsibility of the heir apparent when he plotted against his concubine and murdered his brothers?"
"Yes, how sad it was for Your Majesty to dethrone the crown prince back then? Wouldn't it be ridiculous if he restored him to power now? This would be against the holy will!"
"Not to mention, the eldest prince has not been cleared of his crimes! Huang Yuanxing is still in prison. It is still unclear whether the Holy Emperor's illness has anything to do with him."
"You don't need to take Mr. Wu's words seriously. Who doesn't know that he is close to the Chengen Marquis Mansion? He must be under the instigation of others."
"Haha, I've really become blinded by eating lard. I can't even make such a ridiculous suggestion."
The eldest prince's party was extinguished by a few words from the ministers, so the topic returned to the options between Prince An and the fourth prince.
It was just a quarrel, but Che Zhulun's words went back and forth, and no one could convince anyone.
Seeing that half a day passed, it was almost dark, but no result was achieved.
Everyone was so noisy that their mouths were dry, and some of the older ones couldn't hold it back anymore and wanted to urinate.
Zhang Tan looked at it coldly for a long time, feeling both expected and unexpected.
What was expected was that some people did not want him to assist the fourth prince in ascending the throne. What was unexpected was that some people's attitudes were not quite right.
What was Prince Fu's intention when he suddenly said those words? Since he doesn't support Prince An or the fourth prince, what other candidate is there?
He thought about the emperor's words and felt vaguely in his heart that some things were out of his control.
With a decision in his mind, Zhang Tan said: "It seems that everyone has different opinions and it is difficult to reach an agreement in a short period of time. As for the truth, it is still the same. It is the will of the Holy Emperor to establish the fourth prince. Therefore, the truth will be in the palace
We will stay overnight and wait for His Majesty to wake up so that he can set his sights straight. Is there any of you who would like to stay with me? When the time comes, we will meet with the Holy One to bear witness!"
Someone immediately stood up from his door: "I am willing."
When the political opponents saw how Zhang Tan's people could be controlled, they also shouted: "I'm coming too!"
After a final count, no one was happy to leave.
Who knows what others will do after he leaves?
We must stay together!
At this point, no one is willing to take a step back.
As a result, the lights in the front court were brightly lit, and all the ministers were patiently waiting for the emperor to wake up.
…
The emperor handed over the matter to Zhang Tan, who seemed to have something on his mind and fell into a deep sleep.
On the contrary, everyone around him knew that the emperor did not have much time left, so they were all worried and could not sleep at night.
This is the case with Wan Dabao.
A great eunuch like him must give way when the emperor changes.
If he's lucky, the new king will allow him to be raised with honor, but if he's not lucky, he will have to be buried with him.
Naturally, Wan Dabao didn't want to be buried with him. If Prince An came to the throne, he felt that he could still die a good death. But now he is replaced by the fourth prince...
The fourth prince is young and has no support from his mother's family. When the time comes, Zhang Tan will definitely take over the power.
Now he has no conflict with Zhang Tan, but when he dominates the world with one hand, will he let him go?
Wan Dabao couldn't help but think of many years ago... He had followed King Zhao since he opened his mansion, and he knew a lot of things, including the origin of Prime Minister Zhang...
"Eunuch Wan."
A voice came from behind, and Wan Dabao was startled.
He turned around and saw Concubine Pei, showing a just right smile: "Why are you here? You have been tired for so many days, so you should rest."
"My lord," Concubine Pei walked over without anyone else and said, "Why do you need to look at this medicine stove yourself?"
"This slave is just worried..."
"I'm not worried either!" Concubine Pei came over, picked up the medicine bowl, looked at it, and started cleaning it herself.
"Your Majesty!" Wan Dabao said hurriedly, "How dare you let your Majesty do this kind of thing? I'd better do it as a slave."
Concubine Pei did not refuse and let him clean her while she stood aside.
The night was quiet, and both of them were silent.
After Wan Dabao finished cleaning the medicine bowl, Concubine Pei said quietly: "Eunuch Wan, have you thought of a place to go?" (To be continued)
