Chapter 65 63. The Prince's Controversy (for further reading and collection)

"The disaster of the big man?" Wang Zhi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!

It turned out that this blind old woman was targeting her!Freeing Li Ji and killing Xue'er are all to make trouble and prevent her from ascending to the next position.

The virtuous daughter-in-law who was praised as "modest and filial" when she was with Jiaofangdian, has now become a "big man's scourge" who is "too scheming"!This moment is true, and that moment is also true!

"I understand." Wang Zhi calmed down and said calmly, "Yuan Huwei, Yuan Xiangke often sees Wei Qihou? Wei Qihou resigned and stayed at home, what's the point?"

The younger brother Tian Fu has joined the family of Dou Ying, the Marquis of Wei, under the instruction of Wang Zhi.Dou Ying had many guests. Ji Bu's younger brother Ji Xin, a knight-errant, was also a guest on Dou Ying's seat.

Ji Xin and Yuan An are close friends.Dou Ying and Yuan An successively served as the prime ministers of Wu.Yuan Ang, through Dou Ying, delivered a message to Empress Dowager Dou, and she returned to serve as a doctor.Tyrants, rangers, famous ministers, this iron triangle relationship makes people have to look sideways.

"Wei Qihou often entertained guests at home, and often came and went with many celebrities and chivalrous men."

Wang Zhi nodded when he heard Yuan Zhong's words.Dou Ying is the son of Empress Dowager Dou's cousin.Although he is a relative, at the critical moment, he did not follow the lead of Queen Mother Dou.She recognized Dou Ying more, and suddenly had an idea in her heart - let Liu Xiaozhu worship Wei Qihou as his teacher.

Such a Wei Qihou who is in the Jianghu and has extraordinary energy, can she not win him over?On the one hand, it is to help Liu Xiaozhu worship the mountain, and on the other hand, it is also to show favor to Queen Mother Dou.

Empress Dowager Dou chanted "Yin Dao kisses" at the family banquet, was poured cold water by Dou Ying, and drove Dou Ying away in a rage.Dou Ying simply resigned and went home, and became the "Dou Changjun", the son of the Warring States Period who recruited many customers.

Although Empress Dowager Dou expelled her eldest nephew, only Dou Ying, the Dou family, was outstanding.How can Empress Dowager Dou underestimate the power of three thousand diners?Empress Dowager Dou served as an umbrella to protect the Dou clan; in turn, the prosperity of the Dou clan consolidated the status of Empress Dowager Dou.This kind of blood relationship of mutual achievement has no freezing point.They're just pissed off!
In this era of "governing the world with filial piety", Wang Zhi still needs to continue to play a good wife to win the support of Queen Mother Dou.

"What? Let Dou Ying be the teacher of the pig?" Emperor Jing Liu Qi smiled, "Does a two-year-old child need a teacher?"

"Can a two-year-old child know how to read and memorize books? But the pig can. All his brothers have teachers. Does the pig read a lot of scriptures? Does the pig not need a teacher to teach him how to read? "

Emperor Jing was rendered speechless by Wang Zhi's words.Liu Xiaozhu, who is known as a genius by everyone, is fond of reading and learning, which is beyond the reach of his brothers.

"Wei Qihou is idle at home, and he is the prince's mentor, so it can be regarded as reactivation. Both the queen mother and Wei Qihou have stepped down, and there is no need to argue with each other and ignore each other."

"I thought that my beloved concubine invited Yao Weng out of the mountain to ask for a teacher for my son. Whether my mother cares about Wei Qihou's return, I still need to discuss with my mother before deciding."

Discuss, discuss!A grown-up emperor puts his blind mother on his head, asks for instructions and reports on every detail every day!Mother, how strong!Son, how weak!
"Your Majesty naturally wants to ask the Queen Mother to make a decision." Wang Yan was annoyed, but his face was smiling like a flower, "Yao Weng came out of the mountain for His Majesty, how could it be for a two-year-old baby? Wei Qihou is the teacher of the son, it is the best!"

Yao Weng came out of the mountain, of course for Liu Xiaozhu.He is Wang Zhi's dark chess piece, how could he put it on the bright side?

"My dear concubine, I have arranged for ministers to invite my mother to come to court tomorrow..." Emperor Jing sighed as he said.

Well, this is a contest between imperial power and matriarchal power.Our main debate is Yuan Ang; the deputy debate is Chao Cuo, Wei Wan, and other ministers.The main debate of the other party is the Empress Dowager; the deputy debater is the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager...

This is a debate without suspense.An emperor with the support of many ministers will definitely win in the end.Next, which prince will be appointed as the crown prince...

"Your Majesty..." Wang Yingying bowed down, "The concubine is waiting for the good news! It's just..." She looked disappointed, "If the concubine can't be the queen, I will definitely miss the crown prince!"

Seeing that Emperor Jing remained silent, she smiled tactfully again: "If the concubine follows the example of the Empress Dowager and takes my son to that generation country, I will have a safe place to live without competing with the world. I don't want to be empress Lu again today, and take my mother and son Kill them all!" As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, "A two-year-old child is no longer tolerated. To avoid disaster and survive, concubines and children can only stay away from Your Majesty! Please allow Your Majesty!"

After some crying, frost formed on Liu Qi's face.He turned away in frustration.

Seeing him walking far away, Wang Zhi wiped away tears and sneered: Liu Qi, Liu Qi, can you escape by going to Hanzhang Hall?Wang Hao, that Sailor Moon has even more fighting spirit!
"I didn't expect that! Chao Cuo and Yuan An have the same views!" Yao Weng stroked his beard and laughed, "Originally, these two people are incompatible. As the saying goes, you can't pee in the same pot! In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, arguing On the issue of the heir to the throne, the two cooperated perfectly!"

Wang Zhi laughed: "Let's listen to Yao Guoshi's talk!"

"Haha! That Chao Cuo wrote a memorial for the surviving sons of Liu Fei, the King of Qi, in order of their elder and younger, and asked Queen Mother Dou to decide. Liu Bajun, Guan Gonghou. Liu Ningguo, Guaqiuhou. Liu Xindu, Ying Marquis of Ping. Liu An, Marquis of Yangqiu. Liu Jianglu, King of Qi Xiao. Liu Piguang, King of Jinan. Liu Zhi, King of Zichuan Yi. Liu Ang, King of Jiaoxi. Liu Xian, King of Zichuan. Liu Xiongqu, King of Jiaodong. Shan It's King Qi's branch, just ten brothers!"

"Yuan An said, brothers end up with younger brothers, first arrange the ranks, otherwise it will be like the Song State in the Spring and Autumn Period, it will be bad!" Yao Weng recounted the debates in the court.

Song is a descendant of merchants, and also inherited the merchant's brothers and systems.When Song Xuangong died, he did not have a son, but passed the throne to his younger brother Song Mugong.

Before his death, Song Mugong found Sima Kong Fujia and said: "The former emperor Song Xuangong abandoned his son Yuyi and made me the king. I dare not forget. Please serve Yuyi to preside over the state affairs. Although I die, I will not die. What do you regret?"

Kong Fujia replied: "But all the officials are willing to serve your son, Gongzi Feng."

Song Mugong said: "No, the former ruler thought I was virtuous, so he let me preside over the state affairs. If you lose morality and don't give up your position, this is to abandon the former ruler's promotion. How can there be any virtue?"

So the throne was passed on to his nephew and Yi, that is, Duke Shang of Song Dynasty.

This was originally a family love story between brothers and sisters, but unfortunately there is still a second half of the story.

In order to prevent his son from competing with Song Shanggong after his death, Song Mugong expelled his two sons, Feng and Zuo Shibo, to Zheng Guo before his death.And said to them: "You are my son, don't meet each other when you are alive, and don't cry when you die." It can be said that he has done the utmost benevolence and righteousness to his nephew.

However, after Song Shang ascended the throne, under the instigation of Zhou Yu, the king of the state of Wei, he was worried that the exiled son Feng of the state of Zheng would come back to compete with him, so he sent troops to attack the state of Zheng. Ten years and eleven wars aroused the dissatisfaction of the domestic people.

Dazai Huadu was greedy for the beauty of Kong Fujia's wife, and instigated the people to say that Song Shanggong was bewitched by the treacherous minister Kong Fujia for years of war.So he sent troops to kill Kong Fujia and Song Shanggong, and welcomed the son Feng back to succeed him, that is, Song Zhuanggong.Since then, the Song State has been in constant civil strife and has experienced ten generations of chaos.

"Chao Cuo has presented another story." Yao Weng laughed.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu Shoumeng loved his youngest son Jizha and wanted to pass on the throne to him.But Ji Zha is a virtuous person and insists on not accepting his resignation.So Shou Meng had to pass the throne to his eldest son Zhu Fan.After Zhufan succeeded to the throne, he gave up the throne to Ji Zha. Ji Zha would rather retire and work in the fields than become the king.Later, when Zhu Fan was dying, he passed on the throne to his younger brother Yu Ji, intending to follow his father's last wish and pass it on to Ji Zha in order.His younger brothers Yu Ji and Yu Mei also followed his elder brother's example, passing on younger brothers but not sons.But after the death of the third son, Yu Mo, Jizha still refused to ascend the throne, and instead escaped.So Yu Mei's son Liao was made king of Wu.

But Zhufan's son, Gongzi Guang, thought that his father was the eldest son. If Ji Zha refused to succeed, he should be the one who ascended the throne according to the order, not Yu Mei's son.So the assassins were bought, and finally the tragedy of "specializing in the assassination of kings and kings" happened.

"Tiaohou Zhou Yafu, ask Empress Dowager Dou how many sons Liu Fei, King of Qi, are brothers of the Liu family with Emperor Jing. Brothers end up with younger brothers, if they want the emperor to take turns, what should we do?" Yao Weng narrated with great joy.

"Tingwei Weiwan asked, after Emperor Jing, such as King Liang succeeds to the throne. After King Liang, who will succeed?"

"Empress Dowager Dou was silent for a long time, saying that the son of Emperor Jing would succeed to the throne."

"Then will the son of King Liang agree? Yuan Ang asked Queen Mother Dou. Could it be that the son of King Liang and the son of Emperor Jing are fighting for the throne, turning against each other and fighting again?"

"Mother Dou won't talk anymore!" Yao Weng nodded and laughed, "Sure enough, a few short stories have dispelled Empress Dowager Dou's idea of ​​making the King of Liang a prince! Stability is everything!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhi sighed: "It's good that Empress Dowager Dou changed her mind. But she refused to make Ben the Palace Queen... I'm afraid that there is no hope for you to establish a crown prince!"

Wang Zhi got up and took a few steps in the room, "I have always been friendly with people, especially Empress Dowager Dou. Under Mrs. Shen's favor, she was neglected. I served her personally, and she also had a lot of feelings and praised me. Xianxiao, why are you so guarded against this palace now?"

"Queen Dowager Dou is a woman with a strong desire for power." Yao Weng said, "She opposes Madam becoming a queen. The current starting point should be Liang Wang. Madam becomes queen, and Liu Xiaozhu is the first son. It is a matter of course for him to be crowned prince. . She will definitely not agree to block the path of King Liang’s crown prince.”

"However, King Liang's succession to the throne was strongly opposed by the ministers. This matter has already faded away. Madam and Madam Xiaowang raised the topic of the future with Emperor Jing, and we will see how Empress Dowager Dou reacts." Yao Weng pondered for a while, "In history, Liu Little Pig was really not the prince at the beginning, but Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor..."

"Liu Rong?!" Wang Zhi frowned, "Is it true that Li is the chief? What about Li Ji? Li Ji behaves perversely and speaks without restraint. Apart from being the mother of the eldest son of the emperor and Liu Qi's first love, she is really not liked by the Empress Dowager Dou." .Could it be that she will be made queen?"

"No!" Yao Weng shook his head, "Empress Dowager Dou is also happy to leave the post vacant. She holds all the power in her hands!"

"This blind old woman! If you don't take good care of your health and protect your eyes, your mind is all about power!" Wang Zhi said angrily, "It's still like this! If she wasn't blind, she would have kicked her son off the emperor's throne, called the government in front of the court, and abolished him." Make an emperor and become the second Empress Lu!"

"It's hard to say!" Yao Weng laughed, "And this Empress Dowager Dou is still alive! After killing Emperor Jing, after Liu Xiaozhu proclaimed himself emperor, she took a strong hand in politics and killed several Confucian scholars whom Liu Xiaozhu admired."

"This old woman, the waiting time is too long! This palace knows that she has ruled the three dynasties of Wen, Jing and Wu." Wang Zhi said, "The key is that she has a good nephew——Dou Ying."

"When Dou Ying quelled the rebellion in the Wu Kingdom, he was appointed as a great general, but he was superior to the Taiwei Zhou Yafu. After the rebellion was suppressed, he was named Wei Qihou. This is also the help that Emperor Wen gave Liu Qi to strengthen Liu Qi's power." Wang Zhi talked about it And talk.

"This Dou Ying, Wen can set the country, and Wu can stabilize the country. He also takes Lord Mengchang as a model, has three thousand followers, and makes friends with powerful knights. Brother is not in the court, and there are legends about brothers in the Jianghu...the energy is too great! I am afraid Emperor Jing also has some He is afraid of him. So Empress Dowager Dou once recommended Dou Ying to Emperor Jing as Prime Minister, but Emperor Jing refused. If Dou Ying is a prime minister, his power will reach the extreme, and the court will be enshrined as a god, and the emperor will not be able to do anything to him!"

"Madam's analysis is very clear!" Yao Weng said with admiration, "It's really not that little girl who was crying when she entered the palace!"

"Struggle makes people grow." Wang Yan smiled wryly, "In this harem, there are intrigues, and if you are not careful, your life will be lost. I was originally a heartless college student who was far away from politics. One emperor through the ages. Forced me to mature!"

"Who isn't?" Yao Weng sighed, "I was born in the peaceful and prosperous age of New China, and traveled to BC. Although I can meet my idol Han Wudi and experience the great events in the early Han Dynasty, I have to do my best to maintain the original direction of history... ..."

"So, I have suggested to Liu Qi that Dou Ying should be appointed as the teacher of the pig. The little pig needs a strong backing." Wang Zhi said, a little angry, "Liu Qi actually wants to ask the blind old woman, Queen Mother Dou, for advice. !"

"Dou Ying is a relative of Empress Dowager Dou, and this matter must be decided by Dowager Dou later." Yao Weng laughed, "Madam said that Emperor Jing is a little afraid of Dou Ying. Doesn't this fear come from Empress Dowager Dou?"

"That's all! Let him ask Empress Dowager Dou for instructions. I also offer an olive branch to Empress Dowager Dou, and it depends on whether she accepts it. If she is willing to let Dou Ying be your teacher, the crown prince will be closer to you. .”

"Ma'am, I have a merciless request," Yao Weng saluted, "I want to resign from the position of the national teacher..."

"Why is this? Emperor Jing has given you ten thousand gold and land to build the National Teacher's Mansion. Why do you want to resign after only a few days?" Wang Zhi didn't understand.

"The old man looks at the court, Chao Cuo, Yuan An, etc. are all people who are good at making noises, and they are full of comparisons and hatred. I am afraid that they will not be tolerated by the emperor who favors others."

"If Emperor Jing asks the old man for advice on everything, then Chao Cuo, Yuan An and his ilk will feel out of favor and hate the old man; if Emperor Jing treats the old man coldly, some people in the court will laugh at the uselessness of the national teacher..."

"I have no intention of becoming an official. As a hermit, I have no interest in competing with the court officials, but I can still communicate with them, secretly win them over, and accumulate strength for Liu Xiaozhu."

"Madam is mature in mind, and is familiar with the secrets inside and outside the court. There are some things that only the old man needs to know, and Madam can weigh them herself."

"The highest state of politics is ruthlessness; the highest state of Buddhism is selflessness; the highest state of Taoism is inaction; the highest state of Confucianism is no evil; the highest state of philosophy is ignorance; the highest state of life is namelessness; the highest state of life It is desirelessness."

"This old man can only do one or two things. My wife is getting better and better, and she will definitely help Liu Xiaozhu become the hero!" Yao Weng said, bowing deeply.

"Yao Weng is not afraid that this palace will change history?" Wang Yan laughed, "Don't you want to try your best to maintain the original direction of history? Since my son Liu Zhi is the hero, then this palace will ask you: When will Liu Rong be the prince? Then Liu Rong With his mother, Li Ji, will he be willing to give up the crown prince?"
