The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 305 The Biggest Difference Between King Chu and Zhao Yao
The death of His Royal Highness Chen was a devastating blow to the Jingyang Houfu, even more severe than the death of the two legitimate sons.

The death of the two sons who had been cultivated with countless painstaking efforts was a big blow to the Jingyang Hou Mansion, but the Jingyang Hou Mansion had other sons, and they could be carefully cultivated.However, His Royal Highness Chen is dead, and it is impossible for the Jingyang Hou Mansion to produce another Royal Highness Chen.

First of all: Concubine Liang is not young, and it is difficult to get pregnant again.Even if Concubine Liang is lucky enough to conceive again, there is no guarantee that the prince will be born.

Secondly: Concubine Liang is not very favored, even if she wants to give birth to a prince again, she can't do it without the cooperation of the emperor.

Finally: Even if the emperor is willing to let Concubine Liang give birth to a prince, I am afraid that the prince has not yet grown up, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Dai Wang, and His Royal Highness King Chu have already snatched the throne.When the time comes, let Concubine Liang's son grab the throne, maybe Concubine Liang's son will die by then.

Since the birth of His Highness King Chen, the Jingyang Hou Mansion has put everything on him, and it can be said that they have taken great pains for him.Now that His Royal Highness Chen Wang was assassinated and died, everything that the Jingyang Hou Mansion has done these years has been in vain.Their decades of planning have also come to nothing, which is a devastating blow to them.

The death of the two sons made Jingyang Hou fall ill, but it didn't make him despair.However, the death of His Royal Highness Chen made him feel desperate.In the past few days, he managed to regain his composure, but because of the death of His Royal Highness Chen Wang, his condition worsened and he fell into a coma all the time.

Originally, the Jingyang Hou Mansion was in chaos because of the death of the two sons-in-law, but now they learned of the death of His Royal Highness Chen, which completely collapsed the Jingyang Hou Mansion.

How could the eighth prince miss such a good opportunity.He took advantage of the chaos in the Jingyang Hou Mansion to do a lot of things.

Seeing the collapse of the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, other aristocratic families could not sympathize with them.They also took the opportunity to plunder the Yuan family's business and rob the Yuan family's power.

The plan to recover the land of Shu did not stop because of the death of His Royal Highness Chen Wang.The emperor asked Zhang Gong to go to Shu as scheduled, and also ordered His Royal Highness the King of Chu to go to Shu to meet Zhang Gong as soon as possible.

Of course, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the assassination of His Royal Highness Chen Wang.

Concubine Liang fell ill after learning that her son had been assassinated and died.In the past few days, the concubines in the harem often visited her.Most of the concubines don't hate Concubine Liang, nor do they envy her.Seeing her falling ill now, most concubines sympathize with her very much.If it were them, they would not be able to bear the death of their son.

Concubine Liang took Yu Meiren and Pan Cairen to visit Concubine Liang, but was blocked from the door again.After the concubine Liang fell ill, she didn't see any guests or anyone, except the emperor.

After learning that she fell ill, the emperor came to visit her immediately, and comforted her well, and promised that she would find the murderer and avenge His Royal Highness Chen Wang.

The emperor's promise did not make Concubine Liang feel better.The pain of bereavement cannot be improved by just a few words.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu, who often "bully" Concubine Liang, are also full of pity for Concubine Liang at this time.When they learned of King Chen's death, they hurriedly wrote secret letters to their sons, telling them to be careful when going out.They are not young, and they really can't bear the pain of losing a child.

Liang Concubine, Yu Meiren and the others said some words of condolence to the big palace maid next to Concubine Liang, before turning around and leaving.

Back at the Kunde Hall, Pan Cairen didn't hold back, and asked Concubine Liang, "Sister, did His Highness King Chen really die at the hands of the rebels?"

It is said that His Royal Highness Chen Wang and his party encountered a rebel army.Those rebels originally wanted to rob money, but when they heard that it was His Royal Highness Chen, they killed His Royal Highness Chen viciously and left His Highness Chen dead without a whole body.

Basically all the attendants who entered the capital with His Highness Chen Wang were killed, only one was seriously injured. It was he who said before his death that the people who killed them were the rebels.

Not many people believed that the murderer of His Royal Highness Chen Wang was a rebel army, because it was too strange.Many people suspected that someone was pretending to be a rebel.But it's hard to say who is pretending to be a rebellious army.

Yu Meiren also asked, "Is there someone pretending to be a rebel?"

Concubine Liang shook her head and said, "Who knows."

"Sister, what do you think?" Concubine Liang was the smartest of the three of them, and Meiren Yu and Cairen Pan admired her very much.

Concubine Liang thought for a while and said, "I think it might really be a disorderly army."

Her answer surprised Yu Meiren and Pan Cairen, and they asked in unison, "Sister, why do you think so?"

"Because only the rebellious army can act so boldly." Concubine Liang seriously analyzed to Yu Meiren and the others, "If it wasn't for the rebellious army, who would dare to kill His Highness Chen Wang so blatantly? What about other highnesses, they wouldn't send someone to assassinate His Highness Chen Wang. "

She added: "Besides, His Royal Highness Chen has been staying in his fief for the past few years and has not done anything to other His Highnesses. It is even more impossible for other Highnesses to kill His Highness Chen at this time, because His Highness Chen There is no mortal threat to them at this time."

After hearing Concubine Liang's analysis, Yu Meiren and Pan Cairen thought it was right.

"That's really a chaotic army."

Concubine Liang said: "I think it's a rebellious army. This group of rebellious troops are desperate and can do anything. They even dare to rebel, let alone kill a prince." She believed what she said.

"My sister is right. The rebellious army dare not do anything. They just pity His Royal Highness Chen and the Concubine Liang." The Concubine Liang is different from the Concubine De. Bullying concubines with low status.

"The pain of losing a child..." Although Pan Cairen has no children, she thought that if something happened to Yaoyao, she would go crazy. "I hope the concubine Liang can survive."

Meiren Yu could feel Concubine Liang's heartache, she shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult." After speaking, she sighed heavily, "Even if I make it through, I'm afraid Concubine Liang's body..."

Concubine Liang also sighed, "Oh..."

Pan Cairen's eyes were red, and with tears in his eyes, he said, "I dare not think it's Yaoyao..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by the poppies.Yu Meiren said unluckily: "Bah, bah, what are you talking about, Yaoyao will be fine."

Pan Cairen hastily raised his hand and slapped himself a few times, and said to Concubine Liang apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense just now."

Concubine Liang didn't care, and smiled at Pan Cairen reassuringly: "It's okay, I know you care about Yaoyao, don't worry, Yaoyao will be fine."

Pan Cairen said with a smile: "Well, Yaoyao will definitely live a long life."

At this time, Zhao Yao sneezed, and then received He Lianfang's concerned eyes.He shook his head at He Lianfang: "I'm fine, someone must be talking bad about me."

He Lianfang felt relieved after hearing what he said, and continued to talk about what happened just now.

"The Marquis of Jingyang suffered a stroke."

"Have a stroke?" Zhao Yao was taken aback first, then thought for a while, and felt that it was not surprising that Jingyang Hou had a stroke. "Can you still talk then?"

"No, his eyes and mouth are already crooked." He Lianfang's tone was full of sarcasm, "He only has one pair of eyes that can move now."

"I'm paralyzed." That's right, basically people will be paralyzed after a stroke. "It's worse than death."

He Lianfang sneered and said, "Let him die happily, wouldn't it be too cheap for him."

Zhao Yao nodded and agreed, "That's true." After speaking, he added, "This is retribution." Jingyang Hou was paralyzed by a stroke, and Zhao Yao didn't feel sympathetic because he deserved it. "Make his life worse than death, and let him watch Jingyanghou's collapse step by step." This is the best way to punish Jingyanghou's mansion.

"While his illness is killing him, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty took action again." He Lianfang thought about it in her heart and said, "I'm afraid that it won't take three months for the Marquis of Jingyang to kill everyone."

"If the Marquis of Jingyang doesn't have a stroke, the Yuan family can last for a while." Zhao Yao said, "Now that he has a stroke, he can't even speak, and there is no one else in the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion who can hold on."

"Jingyanghou's mansion concealed the matter of Jingyanghou's stroke, and now the affairs in the mansion seem to be presided over by the eldest son, but in fact it is handled by a servant of Jingyanghou's mansion."

"Hey, didn't the people in the Southern Wei Dynasty get rid of this door?"

"People from the Southern Wei probably wanted to find something in Yuan's house, so they kept this doorman."

Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "What?"

He Lianfang guessed: "It may be the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom."

Zhao Yao was shocked: "Chuan Guo Yuxi is in Yuan's house?" Impossible.

"Probably not here, or maybe the Yuan family has other things from the Southern Wei Dynasty." He Lianfang was only interested in the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, not other things from the Southern Wei Dynasty.

"What else is there in the Southern Wei Dynasty?" Zhao Yao asked curiously.

He Lianfang said indifferently: "It's nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, or antique calligraphy and painting."

Zhao Yao thinks about it, and thinks so.Instantly lost interest.

He Lianfang saw that Zhao Yao also had a lack of interest expression, and asked in surprise: "Aren't you a money fan? Why aren't you interested in gold, silver and jewelry from the Southern Wei Dynasty?"

"I'm a fan of money, but I don't want gold, silver and jewelry that are so hot to touch like the Southern Wei Dynasty." Besides, if the Yuan family really has treasures from the Southern Wei Dynasty, it would also belong to myna.He will never rob mynah.

He Lianfang suddenly asked: "By the way, did your second uncle steal Yuan's business?"

"No, I told my second uncle not to rob the Yuan family's voice from other aristocratic families." He told his second uncle not to rob it, not because he couldn't bear it, but because he didn't want his second uncle to run into those aristocratic families.Those aristocratic families robbed Yuan's business of their business, and if they ran into each other, they might do something.

He Lianfang felt relieved: "That's good." He forgot to mention this before. "Now is the time for the aristocratic family to share the fat of the Yuan family. There is no need to rob them." Besides, even if you rob, you won't be able to rob much.

Zhao Yao nodded and said: "I think so too. Besides, my second uncle and the others are not short of the Yuan family's business." The second uncle and the others are busy selling things from Lingnan, and they are busy going around. Time and energy are robbing Yuan's business. "By the way, fourth brother, should we secretly help?"

"You don't believe that your fourth brother can regain Shu?"

Zhao Yao admitted: "It's a little bit, after all, the fourth brother has no experience in leading troops to fight. This is the first time he has led troops to fight, and the fight is still in Shu."

He Lianfang smiled lightly and said, "Are you underestimating Zhang Gong?"

"Ah, I don't have one." When did he underestimate General Zhang?

"With him here, it's impossible for your fourth brother not to be able to recover the land of Shu." He Lianfang laughed, "Otherwise, why do you think your father sent Zhang Gong to assist your fourth brother?"

Zhao Yao smiled embarrassingly: "I am concerned about it, and I have forgotten General Zhang."

"Your father is giving your fourth brother his military exploits."

"Sure enough, the person that the father likes is the fourth brother." Zhao Yao said, and smiled proudly, "I have already guessed that the person that the father likes the most is the fourth brother."

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao smiling like a fool, and only thought that the child was really a fool.

"Just because of this incident, you think that your father is looking for King Chu?"

"That's right, otherwise, why would the father feed the fourth brother's military exploits?" Zhao Yao said with a smile, "And the fourth brother's fiefdom is Liangzhou..." Next, he listed to He Lianfang a list of people who proved the emperor's fancy It is the evidence of King Chu.

He Lianfang almost believed what he said was well-founded.Of course, when the emperor did this, it was easy for people to misunderstand that the person he liked was the king of Chu.However, this is also the emperor's strategy.

"You seem to want your fourth brother to sit in that seat?"

"Of course, if the fourth brother becomes the emperor, he will be a good emperor." Zhao Yao talked to He Lianfang about the advantages of King Chu.

After listening to Zhao Yao's talk about King Chu, He Lianfang sighed in her heart: If Zhao Yao is really as naive and stupid as he appears on the surface, then King Chu is indeed the most suitable candidate.Unfortunately, Zhao Yao is not like what he showed.

King Chu is indeed outstanding, but compared with Zhao Yao, he is not as good.It's not only bad in mind, but also in scheming.

If the king of Chu can see five steps in one step, then Zhao Yao can see ten steps in one step.Although the difference is only five steps, each of these five steps is a world of difference.

The scheming and methods of the King of Chu are deeper than those of the prince and Dai Wang, and he is better than many people, but he is nothing compared to Zhao Yao.

In addition to these two aspects, King Chu still lost to Zhao Yao, and this point is very important.That is, the king of Chu was deeply influenced by the Li family, and he was influenced by the great principles of Confucianism since he was a child.Although he does not regard Confucianism as the standard like the prince, his thoughts and practices will be bound by Confucianism.However, Zhao Yao has no restrictions in this regard, because he uses Confucianism as a tool and is completely free from the influence of Confucianism.

The king of Chu didn't dare to go too far against Confucianism, but Zhao Yao dared.Like the emperor, Zhao Yao doesn't care about the rules and etiquette set by Confucianism, they only do what they think is right.If what they think is right goes against the principles of Confucianism, they will let Confucianism go aside and not hinder them.However, as the king of Chu, he would not dare to be so "lawless".

He Lianfang smiled inexplicably and said, "It's not certain whether your fourth brother will be able to take that seat in the end."

"Yes, the matter of seizing the heir is full of uncertainty." Zhao Yao sighed heavily and said, "But, I hope it's the fourth brother." Mynah is indeed very kind to him, but mynah's temper...is not suitable for sitting. that seat.

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile.

"Second uncle, don't you like my fourth brother?"

He Lianfang said: "It doesn't matter whether I like your fourth brother or not. Besides, why should I like him."

Zhao Yao choked, unable to refute for a while.

"I don't know what the father can find out by sending people to investigate the death of Sixth Brother."

"It is impossible to find out the Southern Wei people, so the final result can only be chaos." The emperor must know that the Southern Wei people did it, but at this time, the Southern Wei people will not be involved.Besides, all the evidence points to the rebellious army, and there will be no traces of the Southern Wei people.

Zhao Yao really wanted to ask: Does Emperor Father know that the Southern Wei people wanted to kill Sixth Brother?
　The second watch is here.

　　He Lianfang: Idiot!

　　Zhao Yao: Second Uncle, are you talking about me?

　　He Lianfang: Could it be me?
　　Zhao Yao: Why am I a fool?
　　He Lianfang: You will know later.

　　Many years later, Zhao Yao realized: I am indeed a fool!
