Chapter 2, at a young age, forced to open business
In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Qi, Chen Hongyu was walking in the palace of the Prince of Leping County, wearing a loose robe, followed closely by many guard maids.
Walking quickly, Chen Hongyu soon came to the edge of a small pond in the mansion, "Bring it here!"
Hearing this, the maid following behind her immediately stepped forward and presented the bait she had brought, "Young Master, these are all the best bait!"
"Okay, just follow behind me!" Chen Hongyu sighed, took the fish food from the bamboo basket and started feeding the koi in the pond.
Now, four years have passed since the distraction was reincarnated, but Chen Hongyu is really unhappy with his current situation.
Originally, he thought that his reincarnation was in a very powerful family, which would bring great convenience to his practice in this life.
But what he never expected was that his family background was indeed high enough. His grandfather was the brother of the current Emperor of Qi. He had the title of King of Qi and was also the governor of Hezhong Prefecture.
Although I am not the eldest son of my grandfather, and he is not taken seriously, he is still the prince of Leping County. Even I, the son of the Leping County Prince, received the title of a county prince at birth.
If you look at it purely in terms of title, your background is actually very good, enough to make ordinary people envious. But if you look at the current situation in Daqi's court, Chen Hongyu suddenly became unhappy.
In this world, humanity is at its peak, and the immortals and gods are extremely suppressed. They can only be regarded as vassals of humanity. The dynasty of humanity rotates every three hundred years. More than a hundred years ago, the Taizu of this dynasty rose from the bottom of his family and raised three feet of green peak to pacify it.
The world.
In the seventh year of the founding of the Qi Dynasty, Taizong, like Taizu, suffered from serious illnesses due to long-term battles, and Long Yu Bintian. When Prince Hongrong came to the throne, Taizong's brothers launched a coup to take the throne. From then on, they officially became the royal family of Da Qi, with a loving father and a filial son, brothers and friends.
The custom of Di Gong kicked off.
In the ninth year of Tianyuan, Emperor Gaozong ordered the crown prince to act in state affairs and be assisted by several prime ministers. In December of the same year, Emperor Gaozong of Qi passed away. On his deathbed, he ordered the prince to ascend the throne in front of his coffin. Military and state affairs that could not be decided should be decided by the Queen of Heaven.
In the first year of Sisheng, the current emperor ascended the throne and honored the empress dowager as the Holy Mother God Emperor.
When the late emperor was still alive, he mostly relied on the Queen of Heaven, and in the later period, the Queen of Heaven, who is now the Holy Mother God Emperor, even directly controlled the government.
Therefore, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, the power of the court is still firmly in the hands of the Holy Mother Emperor.
The Holy Mother God-Emperor and the late emperor had five sons. The eldest son died in infancy a few years ago, which was suspected to be the fault of the Holy Mother God-Emperor. The second son, Prince Zhangxian Zhao Chong, was directly charged with treason by his great-grandmother.
die.
The third son, King Zhao Jing of Chu, who was his grandfather, fell from a horse when he was young. Since then, he has suffered from leg diseases, which affected his appearance and lost his qualification to inherit the great treasure.
The fourth son is the current emperor, but he can only be regarded as the previous puppet emperor. He does not have much real power at all. Last year, he was placed under house arrest in the palace by the Holy Mother God Emperor because of his struggle for power.
As for the youngest son, who has a weak character, he still stays in the divine capital and is often accompanied by the Holy Mother and the Emperor.
"It feels so fucked, this Holy Mother Emperor is obviously an alien version of Wu Zetian.
Although the Holy Mother God-Emperor has not yet expressed too many wishes, the officials of this dynasty only thought that the Holy Mother God-Emperor wanted to have exclusive power because there was no precedent. After a hundred years, the power would eventually be returned to the emperor.
But now, according to the court information collected by my father, it is clear that the Holy Mother Emperor has the idea of ​​proclaiming himself emperor. And if he wants to proclaim himself emperor, I am afraid that our Zhao Qi clan will have to fight another bloody storm."
Regarding the Holy Mother God Emperor, Chen Hongyu was really not afraid to speculate on the worst-case scenario, because he simply couldn't afford to bet.
After all, according to what I heard from my grandfather, the Prince of Changxian, Zhao Chong, was a wise and powerful figure. Not only was he liked by Emperor Gaozong, he was also widely recognized by many ministers. There was no need to rebel at all.
He ascended the throne smoothly.
But in the end, Prince Zhangxian, Zhao Chong, was sentenced to death for treason, and two of his three sons died in prison.
Because of the death of the prince, Emperor Gaozong, who was seriously ill in bed, had to rely more on his great-grandmother, completely improving her power.
Based on some clues revealed by his cheap great-grandmother and her past "brilliant achievements", Chen Hongyu was afraid that one day she would operate on his grandfather, and he would be implicated even if he had no choice but to go directly to the underworld to meet the late emperors.
"Life is hard. It's really terrible to feel that one's fate is determined by someone else's thoughts!" Although Chen Hongyu sighed in his heart, he also knew that he could not change the current situation.
After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, even his father, Prince Leping, is not taken seriously by the King of Chu.
While thinking in his mind, he suddenly noticed the sound of footsteps coming from behind him. Chen Hongyu couldn't help but sigh, "Here we go again!"
Sure enough, just as he thought about it, a pair of big hands appeared on his waist and lifted him up high. Immediately afterwards, he heard the wanton laughter of his cheap father, Prince Leping, "Yuan'er, are you happy? Father is specializing in this today."
Make time to play with you."
Chen Hongyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and while pushing away Zhao Zhan's approaching face in disgust, he complained, "Are you just trying to make time? You simply have no real power because you are not taken seriously. In addition to staying in the palace,
Where else can you go? What else can you do?"
After the words fell, Zhao Zhan's face couldn't help but froze, and he was quite embarrassed. After all, it was really embarrassing for him as a father to be exposed by his own son.
But in an instant, his expression recovered. Anyway, all the nearby servants had left, only the father and son. As long as no one else knew, he would not be embarrassed.
Moreover, my son is quite extraordinary. He was very smart right after he was born. Although he is only four years old now, his mind is no less than that of an ordinary adult. I even listen to my son's opinions on many important matters in daily life.
Therefore, the dignity of being a father is really hard to pick up. As he was thinking in his mind, he held Chen Hongyu in his arms and walked towards other mansions, "Yuan'er, your grandfather sent a message today, saying that he would come to our mansion for dinner.
When the time comes, you have to behave well."
"I know!" Chen Hongyu changed his posture in his arms and responded.
Although Zhao Zhan was the second son of the King of Chu, his mother's background was too low and he was hated by the princess, so he was not taken seriously by his cheap grandfather. Although he was the prince of Leping County, he had no real power at all.
However, because of the birth of himself, the eldest grandson of King Chu, Zhao Jing, King of Chu, under his influence, made the situation of the Leping County Government a little better, and Zhao Zhan began to have some real power.
"What's the matter? With such a broken identity, you haven't enjoyed many conveniences yet, so you have to worry about the possible crisis at the Queen Mother.
Moreover, at a young age, I have to act cute to please my grandfather, who is a cheap man."
