Outsiders also have golden fingers

Bao Shoufu was furious. Didn't everyone say that the emperor had secretly promised something to Concubine Lu?

Some people say that the ones with the most thorough layout are actually the King of Qi and the Ji family. Others say that the Lu family is the praying mantis, the Ji family is the oriole, and the Huang family is the hunter with a bow and arrow ready to kill the sparrow.
  Others said that the emperor was in his prime, and he must be very wary and dissatisfied with the older princes who were eyeing him. None of them should have any wishful thinking.

Maybe the emperor will secretly train his young son, and it is very likely that the one who wins in the end will be the prince that no one expects.

But the emperor is clearly different from what everyone guessed!
  He really has no bias or selfishness and is only focused on choosing a qualified heir apparent?
  It seems that they want the princes to kill each other like wolf cubs, and the strongest one will be the wolf king?

Doesn’t this mean that most of them are victims? Is it lucky or unfortunate to be born into a royal family?
  Could it be because the emperor's eldest son might not be found? The emperor felt that since there was no legitimate eldest son, the others would all be concubines, so he simply chose the most powerful one?
  "Your Majesty, could it be that you made this arrangement because you couldn't find the eldest son of the Emperor?"

The monarch and his ministers have trusted each other for many years, and there is nothing they cannot ask. The emperor also hates people hiding things and being petty.

Emperor Chengzong put down the tea cup in his hand, his expression solemn and sad.

"The King of Han is my eldest son and the child I value most, but it has nothing to do with whether he will be the crown prince or not.

Simply because he is my first child, he is even rarer.

I am the most qualified successor for the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't care whether I am a direct descendant or a concubine, let alone my personal likes and dislikes.

If he hadn't disappeared, I would have nurtured him well.

If he is worthy of a great responsibility and is the legitimate eldest son, then of course everyone will be happy, otherwise, he is no different from other princes. "

Bao Shoufu's heart is as clear as a mirror.

The emperor has nine surviving sons. If other princes cannot become princes, they may still survive, or even become rich princes.

The King of Han is the legitimate eldest son. If he cannot become the crown prince, no one who comes to the throne will keep him. He will end up being miserable by eradicating the roots.

As expected, a king must be ruthless.

Emperor Chengzong seemed to be able to read minds and snorted coldly and said:

"It's not that I'm cruel, Bao Qing is a veteran of four dynasties, so he should see things more clearly than me.

To be the heir to a country, strategy, ability and openness are the first priority. It is normal to be thick and vicious, and to be vicious.

You must not choose a person who is not capable enough, is narrow-minded, is soft-hearted and has no independent opinion. That will be a disaster for the great Zhou Dynasty, a disaster for the country, and a disaster for all the people!
  Of course, they will receive the best care and education when they are young. I will treat them equally and protect them.

Before the King of Han entered the capital, the situation was still in chaos. I paid no attention to the east and did not care about the west. That's why something like this happened.

You have also seen that since I succeeded to the throne, no prince or princess in the palace has died without any reason.

When the first three reached the age of sixteen and became more mature, I decided to let them go their own way and let them fight for each other.

The rest will join one by one when they grow up, unless someone voluntarily gives up and only wants to be a rich prince.

Whoever wins in the end is the winner. Only the most ruthless and capable prince is worthy of the throne of Zhou Dynasty! Never mind whether he is the legitimate eldest brother or not!

What we have to do is to keep an eye on the forces behind them and try not to interfere and let them fight on their own.

Whichever family interferes too much, we will deal with that family or simply destroy them, and also take action to suppress the prince they support. This is only fair!
  What I want is the prince with the strongest ability! "

Bao Shoufu took a deep breath, left his seat, knelt down and kowtowed: "I thank the Emperor for your trust, and I will be ashamed of myself!"

It turns out that the most pitiable person is the eldest son of the emperor. He has to win or die, with no way out and no support at all.

The Queen and the Ning family can't do anything to help, they will only be a hindrance.     Fortunately, he disappeared, maybe there is still a way to survive.

****************
  Looking at the long funeral procession, Jin Yu said to Cheng Ziran:
  "Prince Tai'an, no, Prince An is so pitiful. He was only about the same age as us, but he disappeared like this!
  It is said that his father did not love his mother since he was a child. He finally found his biological father, but he still had to be sent to another place to study.

He was just studying, but he suddenly became seriously ill. Hey, maybe he wouldn't be like this if he stayed in the capital.

What's the use of a mausoleum no matter how big or luxurious it is? Do you think it would be scary for him to be a child lying alone in the dark underground? "

Cheng Ziran felt warm in his heart and suddenly no longer regretted it.

"No, what is conscious after death is not the body, but the soul.

The soul will go to the underworld, where there are dead relatives waiting for him. He has not done any bad things as a child. He will definitely be reborn in a good child in his next life, with loving parents and peace and success! "

It’s okay to not want glory and wealth.

Jin Yu felt a little more at ease: "Zi Ran, what you said is so nice. Come on, let's go to the bookstore and buy some delicious food."

Cheng Ziran thought of his mysterious aunt and Ling'er these days, and felt that they were hiding something important from him, so he tried to make up his mind:

"Xiaoyu, if you talk about such a lively thing today, that's all for my aunt. She's always impatient with this, but Ling'er loves to join in the fun, but what about her?
  What could be more important than letting her watch the excitement? "

Jin Yu has always been simple-minded. Although she felt that Qing Ling didn't know what she was busy with these days, she didn't think much about it and said casually:
  "Sister Yuanbao is my aunt's half-disciple. Now that she is in that situation, she also wants to learn her skills. I guess the two of them went to the farm to see Sister Yuanbao.

Since I want to give her guidance, I must stay a few more days. "

Cheng Ziran didn't object, as if he acquiesced, but he was still full of doubts.

His aunt now attaches great importance to teaching him and is very strict with him. She will take him with her if there is no important matter, and Jin Yu will also go with him.

Taking him with him would not conflict with pointing Yuan Bao at all, and the farm is not far away. He has good riding skills now and can come back to accompany Xiaojun on holidays.

There must be something going on.

  "Princess forgive me!"

Princess Pearl looked angrily at the two palace maids kneeling on the ground, walked over and kicked them with her feet.

Fortunately, she didn't have much strength or cruelty, so it wouldn't hurt anyone, just a little pain.

The ground was full of broken bowls and scattered food. The soup flowed on the ground and turned into sewage. The ground was so messy that it was unbearable to look at it.

"What kind of dog food is this? Just give me these? Go, bring me some meat and vegetables!"
  I want to eat eight-treasure duck, I want to eat scallops and stewed winter melon, and I want to eat honey-roasted goose! Everything needs to be cooked fresh, no need to warm it! "

The two maids looked at each other.

Although the funeral of the emperor's uncle is not considered a national mourning, and the niece does not have to truly observe filial piety, one cannot eat and drink before the burial. At the very least, one must remain vegetarian for twenty-seven days, right?
  Even if you can't bear it, you can only eat it secretly behind someone's back. Who dares to shout it out openly?
  Although the eldest princess lives in a separate courtyard, she still has to worry about others hearing about it.

It's not easy to serve Princess Pearl. She scolds her all day long and makes all kinds of embarrassing requests.

Other princesses had the upbringing of a wet nurse, but the queen was worried that the princess would get closer to the wet nurse, so she drove the princess away as soon as she was weaned.

Now there is no one to even advise her!
