Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 97: The Troubles of the Establishment of the Reserve (please subscribe)

"Grandma, don't be angry. Changbai's marriage will definitely require your nod." Hua Lan said while helping the old lady along her back.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere was a little bad, so Mrs. Wang left with the excuse of watching the dinner.

Sheng Hong also asked Yuan Wenshao and Chang Bai to go to calligraphy and talk, leaving Hua Lan to comfort the old lady.

When he came to the study and waited for his servants to bring him tea, Sheng Hong sent them away and said, "Erlang, there is a high demand for the establishment of a new crown prince. People from these two people often contact me and ask me to join in the joint memorial. It seems that it won't be long." , it’s time to take action. You must not get involved.”

"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. I know the severity." Yuan Wenshao nodded.

Sheng Hong nodded, looked at Sheng Changbai and said, "It's best for scholars to talk about political affairs. If you encounter them, don't make too many comments. If someone talks about establishing a prince, you should have less contact with these people in the future."

"Father, don't worry. Before spring, the child will study hard at home and try not to go out." Sheng Changbai said.

"Yes." Sheng Hong nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "The world only sees the rise of Conglong's power, but forgets how many people had their homes confiscated and their families destroyed."

Sheng Hong gave a few words of warning and then let the two of them leave.

After leaving the study, Changbai said: "I received a letter from Erlang a few days ago. He will be back in about half a month."

"Haha, we'll have to ask him to buy us a drink then." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

Lin Qige

After Mo Lan came back, she told her mother Lin Xiaoniang what had just happened.

"Young Master actually likes that girl Minglan?" Lin Xiaoniang asked in surprise.

"Who said the young master likes her? It's just that the young master pities her for being stupid." Mo Lan said dissatisfied.

"But what if he just likes stupid people? Hey, don't be too top-notch." Lin Xiaoniang said.

"Mom, how can a concubine like her become the only son of the Duke of Qi?" Mo Lan said.

"But you are also a concubine."

Lin Xiaoniang is still sober, and her own daughter is also a concubine. How can a family like the Duke of Qi be so high up?

"Mom, can I be the same as her? I am your daughter, and I live a more noble life than my legitimate daughter. Moreover, I won first place in the poetry competition not long ago. Who doesn't look up to me?" Mo Lan said.

"Yes, yes, but ah, if Changbai and your brother can go to high school, and our family has three Jinshis, and there is also an in-law with a double nobility, if the young master really likes you, there is not no chance. . If you can marry into the Duke of Qi's palace, let's see if Wang Ruofu still dares to yell at me." Lin Xiaoniang said.

Since Hua Lan married into the Earl's Mansion, Sheng Hong has been much more polite to Mrs. Wang. Although he still loves her very much, he is no longer as submissive as he was in Yangzhou.

Although Lin Xiaoniang hopes that Changbai fails the exam, if Changbai can pass the exam, it will also improve the status of the Sheng family, and her daughter may not be able to marry into the Duke's palace.

……

Yuan Wenshao and Hualan had dinner at Sheng's house before returning home with their unhappy daughter.

On the carriage, Hua Lan said: "Guanren, have you reminded dad?"

"My father-in-law didn't need me to remind him. He called me and Changbai to the study just to remind me and Changbai." Yuan Wenshao said.

"That's good." Hua Lan felt relieved after hearing this.

At night, Hua Lan coaxed her daughter to sleep and returned to her room.

Yuan Wenshao retreated inside, waited for Hua Lan to go to bed, hugged her and said, "Madam, you seem to have been unhappy since you left the Sheng family. Did your grandmother say something to you?"

"Grandma said that she and Mrs. He of Baishitan have an old relationship. Mrs. He used to treat the noble women of Bianjing and her medical skills were very good. I want to ask her to come and see me." Hua Lan said.

"Is this a good thing? Why are you unhappy?"

Hualan is now 21 years old, and the most difficult thing for a woman is to have her first child. The second child is much less dangerous, but she can still get pregnant.

"I'm worried that it won't be cured," Hua Lan said.

She had seen a doctor before, and the doctor told her to take good care of herself, but after so many years of self-cultivation, she still couldn't get pregnant.

She was afraid that she would not be able to give birth because of her injuries.

"Don't worry, I've heard the name of Mrs. Bai Shitan He too. It will definitely be fine for her to take action." Yuan Wenshao comforted.

He knew that Hua Lan was hiding her illness and was avoiding medical treatment, so it took him a while to comfort Hua Lan before he calmed down.

……

Bianjing Pier
Just like the last farewell, it was still Yuan Wenshao and Sheng Changbai.

Looking at the bustling dock, Changbai sighed: "It seems like yesterday that I saw Erlang off last time."

"Yes, time flies so fast." Yuan Wenshao also sighed.

The two waited for nearly half an hour before a ship docked. Not long after, Gu Tingye and Shi Shi, who was carrying a book box, got off the ship.

"Erlang is here!"

Changbai waved to Gu Tingye who was looking around and greeted him.

"Zhong Huai!"

"Zecheng!"

"Brother Yuan!"

The three of them greeted each other excitedly and exchanged a few words.

Sheng Changbai asked in confusion: "Why did you just bring a stone? Are you going to salute?"

"There's not much, just a few boxes and a family member. We're packing things on the boat. Let's go first." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

Sheng Changbai looked surprised and whispered, "What's going on with this family?"

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, he guessed that Gu Tingye was probably talking about Mannia.

"I helped a poor woman in Bianjing before, but her brother defrauded her of all her money. She came to Bailudong Academy to find me. I thought she was really pitiful, so... I took her away. "Gu Tingye explained.

Sheng Changbai opened his mouth and really didn't know what to say.

As a friend, he really couldn't say anything about Gu Tingye's raising a wife.

"Where are the people?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"I bought someone a place to live in advance and asked her to wait and salute and go there together. Let's go without waiting for her," Gu Tingye said.

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Zhuang Xuexiu is holding a meeting at the meeting. The rules are very strict. Let's leave quickly." Changbai said.

"Shitou, you clean up after them, don't let others fool you. I'm leaving first." Gu Tingye said.

This time he came back to participate in the imperial examination next year, but it is still some time before the imperial examination, so he will study with Zhuang Xuexue in the Sheng family for a while.

"Haha, today I will accompany you to listen to Zhuang Xuexue's class. Zhong Huaike will treat us to a drink at noon." Yuan Wenshao said with a smile.

"It's okay to drink, but you have to go to class in the afternoon, so you can't drink too much. I'll treat you to another meal after you take a break." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

The three of them joked all the way back to Sheng's house and arrived at the side courtyard. When they passed by the woods, they saw Minglan sleeping leaning on Xiaotao, and a man came next to her with a book and fanning herself.

Just when Sheng Changbai was about to speak, Gu Tingye saw that the man looked familiar, turned his head to look at him, stepped forward and pushed him, and said with a smile: "Yuan Ruo."

"Second uncle!"

Young Master Qi turned around and was very surprised to see Gu Tingye.

"Why are you here?" Gu Tingye asked.

"I should ask you this." Young Master Qi said with a smile.

The two hugged and exchanged greetings, and Minglan, who was awakened on the other side, also stood up with Xiao Tao's help. "I am studying here now. Second uncle, this is the sixth girl of the Sheng family." Young Master Qi introduced.

"Hello, Miss Six." Gu Tingye thought of the little girl who threw the pot with him. He didn't expect that she had grown so big, and said hello with a smile.

"Second uncle, how are you?" Minglan saluted.

"Ahem, cough, cough." Sheng Changbai said quickly: "It's not good to delay. Zhuang Xuexue is late for meeting people, and he will definitely be punished."

The Gu and Qi families were related, so the young master of Qi looked down on Gu Tingye and called him his second uncle as he should.

But he and Gu Tingye were friends. Minglan called Gu Tingye second uncle, but he was a generation younger.

Yuan Wenshao did sigh in his heart. Although Minglan seemed to refuse Qi Heng thousands of miles away, he still had expectations in his heart.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to follow Qi Heng and call Gu Tingye second uncle.

The group came to the school, and Sheng Changbai directed his men to bring two more tables.

"Second uncle, please take my seat." Qi Heng said.

"Why is brother Yuanruo calling you second uncle?"

Just then Mo Lan and Ru Lan walked in one after the other.

"Oh, we are related by ancestors." Qi Heng replied lightly.

"This is my fourth sister." Sheng Changbai introduced.

"Then I'll call you brother Yuanruo, do you mind?" Mo Lan said with a smile.

"do not mind."

Gu Tingye winked at Qi Heng, as if to say that you are really destined for women.

"Second uncle is fine."

"Hello, fourth sister." Gu Tingye originally wanted to call her niece, but he quickly changed his mind when he saw Sheng Changbai's ugly face.

"Good morning, Second Uncle Gu." Ru Lan saluted.

After hearing this, Gu Tingye's expression became even weirder.

"This is my fifth sister." Changbai introduced.

"Hello, fifth sister." Gu Tingye returned the greeting.

As soon as the ceremony was over, Zhuang Xuexue walked in.

"We're all here." Zhuang Xuexue smiled.

"Xue Zhuang is well." Everyone saluted quickly.

Xuexue Zhuang nodded, looked at Gu Tingye and said, "The classmates from the Gu family in the Hou Mansion are also here."

Gu Tingye was coming. Sheng Changbai had told him in advance that he knew Yuan Wenshao, so he could guess Gu Tingye's identity at a glance.

"Yes, I just arrived this morning and came to attend the lecture. I'll be troublesome in the future." Gu Tingye bowed.

"Okay, a young man's diligence lies in the morning, so please take a seat." Zhuang Xuejun said with a smile.

Zhuang Xuexue's lectures were lively and interesting, not rigid, and the morning passed in a short time.

At noon, the three of them went to Fanlou for a meal and a few drinks. After eating, Yuan Wenshao went home.

The next day was the morning court. Although the officials had not gone to court for several months, they still had to go to court.

Yuan Wenshao thought he could go back today just by clicking the button, but he didn't expect that the official would go to court.

All the officials entered the hall and paid homage. Yuan Wenshao secretly looked at the official's house and found that he was much older, his face was pale, and he had no energy.

"I haven't been to court for a while. Thanks to all my ministers and ministers who were loyal to their duties and shared my worries, there was no trouble," the official said.

The officials didn't even dare to say it, but the officials didn't say much. The eunuch in charge of the ceremony shouted loudly: "If there is something to do, we will start, but if there is nothing, we will leave the court."

Grand Prime Minister Han stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The official's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Say."

"I ask your majesty to inherit the clan and use the Zhengdong Palace to calm the people's hearts." Han Da Xianggong said.

The words of Grand Xianggong Han seemed to sound a battle cry, and many officials came out one after another and said: "I sincerely request your majesty to adopt the heir to rectify the East Palace."

The official stood up slowly, looked at the people in line and said, "Are you trying to force me into the palace?"

Chen Xianggong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is dying of a young son. It hurts for you, and it hurts for your servants. Your Majesty loves your young son, and your servants hurt the world. However, the position of the crown prince is vacant, and the people of the world are panicked. Please also ask your majesty to adopt the heir and establish him as his heir for peace of mind." The heart of the world.”

After saying that, Mr. Chen knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please adopt the clan to bring peace of mind to the world."

Many officials knelt down and said in unison.

"You are forcing me so much, and you still say you are not forcing me to have a baby?"

The official sat down slowly and said: "I have no son, so I have to go to the government to govern. You bunch of bastards who have no king and no father. You actually intimidate me in this hall... cough cough cough~"

The official coughed for a long time before he calmed down and said: "Retreat from the court, retreat from the court!"

Chen Xianggong said: "Your Majesty, if we can decide on the adoption of the clan, I am willing to be punished."

The official looked at Xianggong Chen steadily and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I will appoint whoever you say, okay?"

"Your Majesty, you are suspicious of me."

Chen Xianggong trembled all over, took off the black gauze hat on his head, pointed to his head and said: "Your Majesty, look at the white hair on my head. I am already over 70 years old, and I have no heirs. What selfish motives can I have? The emperor is the heir. The safety of the world depends on it, and how many disasters have arisen because of this, all because the strategy was not decided early, and the decision was not made, Your Majesty!"

The whole official family relaxed and murmured: "If you want to establish an heir, then establish an heir. If you want to adopt an heir, then adopt one. Someone must be the emperor, but my son is gone."

Speaking of the latter, the official burst into tears. At this time, he was not the emperor who ruled the world, but just a father who had lost his son.

The official family cried for a long time and finally agreed to adopt an heir.

He was unwilling to hand over the throne to others, but he knew that adoption was inevitable.

He could still hold off before because he thought he might still have a son, but now he is almost fifty, and his body is broken because of his son's death.

"The clan's mansion selects the clan's children, examines their conduct, selects candidates to beat me and retaliate against me, and withdraw from the court!" After the official finished speaking, he left the hall with the support of the eunuch, his figure extremely bleak.

As the officials nodded, the matter of establishing a crown prince spread in Bianjing.

After half a month of selection, the Zongren Mansion finally selected King Yong and King Yan, who had the closest bloodlines to the Heguan family.

After reporting to the officials, the officials directly issued an order to transfer the two people to Bianjing.

According to the rules, the royal family must join the feudal clan when they reach adulthood, and they are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without an edict.

Although it has not been decided yet, given the official's physical condition, the crown prince will be chosen among the two princes.

After the two princes entered Beijing, many officials began to take sides.

The two also began to win over the ministers of the court. Whether they can inherit the throne depends on the attitude of the officials and who has many supporters.

However, the two princes were not stupid. They knew that the officials could not tolerate them wooing military generals, so they only wooed civil servants.

All over Bianjing, there was discussion about which of the two princes was more suitable.
