"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law dares to ask me one more question. Ten years ago... the tragedy that happened at Shilang Lu's house... do you know the inside story? Also, how did the third prince Guo Hao, who was under Concubine Rong's lap, die? Can you tell me what happened to my son-in-law?
Let’s talk about this.” Lin Jue asked softly.
The princess turned pale and shook her head repeatedly: "No, I don't know what happened to these things. Although when I heard these things, I felt that they might... be related to that matter. But I dare not make random guesses.
I don't even dare to ask. Lin Jue, I have told you all the secrets I know. This time I go to beg Yourong. If you feel that you must use the past to coerce her, I am also willing to listen to you. People are not for themselves.
, damn it, if the prince can't pass this test this time, why should I miss my old love? I'm tired, I want to go back to my room to rest, Wei'er, can you help me go back to my room? My mother needs to have a good sleep.
Mom is too tired."
The princess stood up, frowned, and was about to collapse. Guo Caiwei hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Lin Jue stood up to see her off, and the princess, accompanied by the little princess, left the boat hall and returned to her room.
It was dusk, and the light in the ship's hall had dimmed. The servant came in to hold the lamp and asked Lin Jue if he wanted to add wine and warm dishes. Lin Jue waved his hand and got up and went out, came to the stern deck and stood with his hands clasped behind his hands.
The sun has set, and the sky shows a solemn navy blue color. On the top of the western sky, there is the last red sunset that is still brilliant. But the brightness lasts only for a moment, and disappears the next moment.
The wind has picked up, and the hurricane along the coast should have reached the shore, and the weather will soon change. The wind blowing from the south blew up the sails of the big ship, and the tight ropes made a buzzing sound. The sail hunting
, the speed of the big ship accelerated, the water roared on both sides of the ship, and the waves rolled along the trajectory of the ship at the stern, which was impressive.
Lin Jue stood on the stern deck of the ship, looking at the dusk surrounding the fields, and his thoughts could not calm down. He kept standing there until it was dark, and then slowly walked back to his residence on the second floor of the ship.
The little princess did not comfort the princess until the first watch and returned to the room, only to find Lin Jue sitting in a trance under the lamp. Guo Caiwei sat down next to Lin Jue and looked at Lin Jue blankly.
"Is mother-in-law asleep?" Lin Jue asked softly.
The little princess nodded and said: "I went to bed, my mother was drunk and vomited after returning to the room."
Lin Jue nodded, stretched out his hand to caress the little princess's belly, and said softly: "I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to worry about me at this time. I'm sorry that you have to endure these things."
The little princess smiled slightly and said: "I'm not that delicate. Besides, you are also thinking about my parents. Dad... He was impulsive and caused these things. It's just... the facts my mother said today are so amazing.
, I still find it unbelievable.”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Yes, who would have thought of it? But this is a fact. Concubine Rong Guifei is far from being as weak as she appears, but she is a decisive person. It is incredible."
The little princess said softly: "Girl Green Dance... turns out to be a princess, and her status is higher than mine."
Lin Jue glanced at Guo Caiwei and said softly: "Weier, don't think too much, Lu Wu is just the little maid beside me, no matter whether she is a princess or not, she is still her. Besides, her identity cannot be made public. But you, don't bother me."
There are no traces. Treat her like yesterday."
Guo Caiwei nodded lightly. After learning Lu Wu's true identity, she did feel a little complicated. But she knew that with Lu Wu's temperament, she probably wouldn't do anything because of it. It was just something strange in her heart.
"Weier, there's something I need to tell you. Although I know it's not appropriate to tell you this at this time. But you and I are one husband and wife, and we shouldn't hide anything. Besides, this matter concerns your parents.
Brother, I have no choice but to say it." Lin Jue took Guo Caiwei's hand and said softly.
Seeing Lin Jue's solemn words, Guo Caiwei held Lin Jue's hand with her palm and whispered: "My husband just said that no matter what we face together, no matter what the wind and rain, we will carry it together. Wei'er is not like that
A kind of person who can’t handle things.”
Lin Jue smiled slightly and said: "That's natural. I will only discuss some things with you because I know you can withstand it. But others may not be able to withstand it. My Wei'er is the one who can stand it best.
The person I care about."
Guo Caiwei chuckled and said: "The more you talk like this, the more nervous I become. It seems that what you want to say is very important. You don't have to beat around the bush, just tell me directly."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Okay, I won't beat around the bush. After hearing what your mother told you about the past, Wei'er must have been extremely surprised. So was I. But what surprised me the most was that your father actually proposed it back then.
This package-swapping plan makes me most unbelievable. This is also the point that I can’t figure out the most. As your father, how could he come up with such a ridiculous suggestion? Wei’er, don’t you find it strange?”
Guo Caiwei frowned and said: "Of course I find it incredible. I said it before, is my father confused? How could he come up with such a solution? But this is what my mother said. I know that my mother will not
You're lying, then this is indeed dad's idea. I don't understand why dad did this."
Lin Jue said softly: "Yes, it's very strange, isn't it? So I just thought about it for a long time, and I seem to have found the answer."
Guo Caiwei's eyes widened and she said, "You found the answer? Come on, tell me?"
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said: "I don't know if my answer is right or not. I'm afraid that it will make people feel sensational if I say it. But other than this answer, I don't know how to explain my father-in-law's actions back then. So I want to tell you, and you
Let’s discuss it and let you make a judgment.”
Guo Caiwei said: "Just tell me, I'm listening."
Lin Jue stood up slowly and walked around the room. After a while, he stood at the window and looked at the darkness outside and said: "Weier, the power struggle in the royal family is very cruel and has happened in all dynasties. In the palace,
The cruelty of the changes is often more cruel and tragic than the battles in the outside world. To put it aside, think about the Xuanwu Gate Change in the Li Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin killed his elder brother and younger brother and took the throne. This is something everyone knows.
"
Guo Caiwei frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Lin Jue did not answer directly, but continued softly: "Regardless of right or wrong, just talking about the matter itself, it shows how cruel and ruthless the struggle for imperial power is. You know, that high position represents having all the power. That is
Anything worth taking any risk, for that position, any incredible thing can be done. So, as long as you figure this out, anything that seems incredible will become a matter of course. Wei'er, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Guo Caiwei, who is already smart, was shocked when she heard this: "Could your husband mean...my father's move has a deeper meaning? This...I don't understand."
Lin Jue turned around, looked at Guo Caiwei quietly and said: "Let's make a hypothesis. If Concubine Rong's son Guo Hao had not died, he would be eighteen years old now. He is the prince, and his mother is the concubine.
Behind him stands the old queen again. In your opinion, is it possible for him to become the prince?"
Guo Caiwei frowned and said: "Of course it is possible. Concubine Mei's son, Prince Huai, can compete, let alone Concubine Rong's son? To some extent, his chances are greater than Prince Huai. Although Prince Huai has
Prime Minister Lu is behind him, but compared with the Queen Mother, he is still inferior."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "You are right. I think so too. If Guo Hao were alive, among the three princes, he would have a greater chance. Because the Queen Mother has the ability to control the emperor. This is the problem.
Already."
Guo Caiwei bit her lower lip and said, "But Guo Hao is dead after all. What's the point of this assumption?"
Lin Jue asked himself: "Weier, let me ask you again. Do your father and your brothers have the qualifications to get involved in the throne?"
Guo Caiwei said in horror: "Why do you ask this?"
Lin Jue said: "You and I are just discussing the matter at hand. Just answer me."
Guo Caiwei thought for a while and said: "It stands to reason that my father and brother are also direct relatives of the emperor, and they are of the blood of the late emperor. Naturally, they have the qualifications. But... you also know that this is not about qualifications. The emperor is the eldest brother, and he
The accession to the throne is based on the ancestral system. Unless... that lineage is broken, my father and brother can..."
Lin Jue tapped the edge of the window, nodded and said: "That's right, that's the problem. Although the prince and the young prince are qualified, the chance of getting the throne is very slim, almost equivalent to none. The emperor takes every possible precaution against the prince, so he
It is to kill this last possibility. In the succession to the throne, there is no brotherhood, only naked self-interest. The reason why your father and brother are in an awkward situation actually stems from this deep-seated subtle reason."
The little princess nodded in agreement.
Lin Jue continued softly: "Then think about it from another angle. If your father and brother want to get involved in the throne, what can they do? All I can think of is to rebel and openly fight for the throne. Just like the princes of all dynasties fighting for the throne, the best
If the opportunity is lost and others sit on the throne, they can only use force to fight against each other. However, this method is unrealistic in China. In our Zhou Dynasty, it is difficult for soldiers to rebel because
The prince has no military power, and local military power is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so it is difficult for him to support his troops and respect himself. This road will not work, so what other way can we get the throne?"
Guo Caiwei stared at Lin Jue. Her husband was openly talking to her about how to seize the throne. This was simply crazy. Fortunately, she was on her own boat, surrounded by lake water. Otherwise Guo Caiwei would have rushed up to cover Lin Jue.
Mouth, tell him to stop talking about this matter. Is it allowed to talk about this kind of thing?
"Your father, my father-in-law found another way to get the throne. I wondered why he made that incredible suggestion and ignored the purity of the royal blood. Later I figured it out. This is what he wanted.
Result. Wei'er, think about it, if Guo Hao lives, he is the one who has the best chance to get the throne. If Guo Hao inherits the throne, what will the Zhou Dynasty be like? Change the cage and change the bird.
In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer the world of the Guo family, but the world of foreign surnames. Everyone is kept in the dark, and only a limited number of people know this secret. And the prince is one of the insiders. By that time
, this is the biggest leverage in the hands of the prince. He can use this leverage to do anything. He can use this to coerce the new emperor and seek power. He can coerce the fake emperor to surrender to your father and brother, and he can even make it public.
Raise the flag to rebel. By then, raising the flag to rebel will definitely succeed, because the emperor on the throne is not named Guo, so he will naturally not get support. In short, he has countless ways to do it. At that time, the initiative
In the hands of the prince, he can do whatever he wants. The final result will inevitably be that the throne changes hands and your family, Prince Liang's family, ascends to the throne."
