The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 47 The Purpose of Emperor Wu of Zhou
In He Xiang's mansion, Liu Taishi, Song Dekang, Chu Ying and others were drinking tea and chatting with He Xiang.The topic of the chat was naturally the sudden marriage proposal from Emperor Zhou Wu of the early dynasty.

This marriage decree not only caught Kong Taichang off guard, but also made He Xiang and the others dizzy.

Song Dekang is a rough man, drinking tea is like a cow chewing peonies.After he gulped down the tea in the teacup, he put the teacup on the table.Because it was put too hard, it made a "boom".

"What do you think the emperor thinks, how can he marry Lao Kong's youngest daughter to the acting king?"

Shen Hu frowned slightly and said: "The emperor really wants to abolish the crown prince and let the acting king be the crown prince?"

Chu Ying said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with us whether we abolish the crown prince or establish an acting king." Their allegiance is to the emperor, not the prince and the acting king.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi didn't speak, the old god was drinking tea.

Seeing their leisurely appearance, Song Dekang became a little anxious, and hurriedly asked: "He Xiang, why don't you just say something."

He Xiang put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Song Dekang helplessly: "What do you say?"

"Do you think the emperor is going to abolish the prince and replace him with the king?" Song Dekang asked anxiously.

He Conversely asked, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Why doesn't this have anything to do with me?"

"Tell me what it has to do with you." He Xiang asked again.

"I..." Song Dekang fell silent as soon as he spoke, not knowing what to say for a while.

He Xiang looked at Song Dekang and said, "You don't want His Royal Highness to be deposed?"

Song Dekang didn't have any hesitation this time, "Of course." He said with a complicated look on his face, "His Royal Highness is the son of the former empress after all."

When the first queen was mentioned, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"For the sake of the former empress, the emperor will not abolish His Highness the Crown Prince." He Xiang comforted Song Dekang, "Don't worry, the Emperor will not let His Royal Highness Dai Wang replace His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Then why did the emperor marry the youngest daughter of the old Confucius family to the Dai Wang?" Although Song Dekang is a general, it does not mean that he is a person with strong limbs and a simple mind. The king, what benefits will it bring to the acting king. "The old Confucian family is very popular with those scholars. Isn't the support of scholars most lacking for Dai Wang?"

He Xiang probably guessed the purpose of Emperor Zhou Wu's decree for bestowing marriage, "The emperor must have his plan."

"What's the plan, to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's situation more and more dangerous? To make His Royal Highness Dai Wang more and more arrogant?" Song Dekang said with some annoyance, "If Dai Wang really married Lao Kong's youngest daughter, then Dai Wang will be more and more arrogant." Don't take His Royal Highness seriously."

Taishi Liu glanced at the angrily Song Dekang, and said in a calm tone: "Without this decree to bestow marriage, the acting king would have even less regard for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Hu asked: "Are we just watching like this?"

Grand Master Liu glanced at Shen Hu, "What do you want to do, to help His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shen Hu was stopped by Grand Master Liu's question, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Can't we help?" Song Dekang said, "For the sake of the former empress, we should also help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a warning look from He Xiang.

"I advise you not to do this. You should understand that the emperor does not want us to get involved in the affairs between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang." He Xiang understood Song Dekang's desire to help His Highness the Crown Prince, but he did not approve of doing so, "You should It is clear that our allegiance is to the emperor, not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I know, I also understand, but the former queen was kind to us, we can't just ignore death." Song Dekang valued love and righteousness.Back then, he was out fighting with the emperor, and his wife had a dystocia during childbirth. If the queen hadn't asked Xie's doctor to save his wife, his wife and the child in his womb would have died.In addition, he has been fighting outside all year round, and he doesn't care about the young and old in his family. It is the former queen who has been taking care of his old mother and pregnant wife.Not only him, He Xiang and his family were all taken care of by the former queen.

"It's not so serious yet." He Xiang said, "If His Royal Highness is really desperate, we will naturally not refuse to save him."

"What do you mean?" Song Dekang didn't understand He Xiang's meaning, "Isn't it serious that the emperor gave Lao Kong's youngest daughter a marriage to the acting king?"

Grand Master Liu said, "It's not serious."

Song Dekang and Shen Hu were stunned, their faces showed surprise and doubt: "Is this not serious?"

Grand Master Liu snorted softly, "What is this?"

"That's nothing?"

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a crown prince." He Xiang said meaningfully, "His Royal Highness is too benevolent and needs to be tempered."

Song Dekang and Shen Hu didn't understand, and asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

He Xiangyan said: "It means you don't need to worry about it, just do what you need to do."

Song Dekang asked worriedly: "Don't we really need to worry?"

"We don't need to worry about this matter." The corner of He Xiang's mouth raised an intriguing smile, "If this trivial matter requires our help, then His Highness the Crown Prince will be somewhat useless."

Song Dekang seemed to understand what He Xiang said.However, He Xiang said that they don't need to worry, so he didn't worry about it.

Taishi Liu said: "Don't bother with this matter."

Shen Hu nodded and said, "Okay."

Song Dekang said: "Okay, then we don't care about it." As He Xiang said, if His Highness the Crown Prince is really cornered by His Royal Highness Dai Wang, then there is no need for him to rush, He Xiang and Grand Master Liu will help His Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Hu, Song Dekang and the others still had something to do, so they left after drinking tea for a while in He Xiangfu.Grand Master Liu did not leave in a hurry, and continued to drink tea with He Xiang.chat.

They first talked about the rebellion in Yangzhou, and then about the things in Shu.At the end of the chat, we talked back to the matter of giving the marriage.However, what they were talking about was not helping His Highness the Crown Prince, but what Duke Zhen and Taichang Kong would do.

The reason why He Xiang and Liu Taishi were not worried about this marriage at all was because they knew that Kong Taichang would try his best to destroy this marriage.Of course, there is also Zhen Guogong.

"What if the emperor gets off his game?" Grand Master Liu said suddenly, "At that time, the court situation will become turbulent."

"The emperor has a sense of proportion and will not let the situation go beyond his control."

"The king's wolf is ambitious, the third prince and the others are eyeing, I hope the emperor really won't get away with it." Once he gets out, Da Zhou will become dangerous.

"Don't you understand the methods of the emperor?" He Xiang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Grand Master Liu himself, "Besides, His Royal Highness really needs training."

Grand Master Liu picked up the teacup and did not drink tea in a hurry, but said: "If the final result is not what the emperor wants, what should the emperor do?"

"That's something the emperor is worried about. As courtiers, we just need to obey orders."

Grand Master Liu smiled slightly: "Yes."

The two stopped talking about it, and talked about this year's spring plowing.

At this time, the harem became very "lively" because of the marriage gift, and the concubines, eunuchs, and court ladies were all discussing this matter.

Liang Zhaoyi, Yu Meiren and the others naturally heard about this incident, and were also shocked by it.

"Is the emperor going to let the king be the crown prince?"

"His Royal Highness will be abolished?"

Liang Zhaoyi didn't think so."It's not that simple," she said.

"What do you mean by sister?"

Liang Zhaoyi shook her head at Yu Meiren and the others: "This matter should not be our concern, so don't talk about it anymore."

Yu Meiren and Pan Cairen nodded knowingly: "Sister is right, it has nothing to do with us."

Liang Zhaoyi ordered that the people in the Kunde Hall stop talking about this matter.Anyone who still talks about this will be severely punished.

In Zhaoyang Palace, after Empress Xie heard about this, she first smiled very happily, then her face was gloomy like water.

She was happy that the emperor finally abolished the prince.What is not happy is that the emperor values ​​Daiwang so much.

Although Empress Xie had always hoped that the prince would fight against the prince, and even more hope that the prince would replace the prince, when that day came, she was full of jealousy and unwillingness, because the prince was the son of Concubine Rong.
