Chapter 430 Iron Blood Emperor 26

After the Taishang Emperor's birthday, the sage put the matter of the crown prince's choice of concubine on the agenda.The saint felt that he had to communicate with the Supreme Emperor first, to see the Supreme Emperor's opinion, then ask the Queen's opinion, and finally the Crown Prince's opinion.

"Father, my son is going to choose a concubine for the prince. What kind of girl do you think is more suitable?"

The prince looked at the Supreme Emperor eagerly, his eyes full of pleading.

"Ming Yun, your crown prince has long been optimistic about the candidate for the crown princess. Don't pretend to be confused and say you don't know."

The Supreme Emperor sneered.These days, when he saw the saint, his face was stinky, and he didn't speak in a good mood.Because he felt that the only time he got drunk in 60 years was because of this son—this son who made him lose face in front of his grandson, he was too unlovable and annoying.

The sage knew what the Empress Dowager had in mind, pretended not to hear it, and salivated, and said, "Father, the crown prince is a petty man, what do you know? Even a son, many government officials still have to ask you for advice, and those who rely on you to guide them The candidate for the crown princess is naturally up to you."

"I choose whoever I choose?"

The sage only patiently smiled and coaxed the emperor who tended to be unreasonable: "Father is wise and powerful, and has a keen eye for the details. He is far-sighted in political affairs, and has a keen eye for judging people. Not to mention the six departments and nine ministers reserved for his son. Important minister, just by looking at the empress chosen for his son, you can tell that the concubine chosen by the father will definitely be the one with a beautiful heart and a heart, and she will be a perfect match with the crown prince, singing in harmony."

The sage's words refreshed the prince's understanding of his father.Although the royal father often coaxes the tantrum-prone grandpa, isn't it a little bit of flattery to speak like this?

The prince thought so, and his face came out.

The saint patted the prince on the shoulder, "Isn't it all for you?!"

The crown prince pulled his grandson over, "Ming Yun, don't bully my beloved grandson. Hmph, bully the prince in front of me. Does it hurt?"

At this time, Taishang is an old grandfather who protects his grandson.

The prince hurriedly said, "Grandfather, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Father just patted it."

The Supreme Emperor gave the saint a glance, and the saint quickly expressed his opinion, "Father, you can choose whoever you choose."

The majesty sighed, and said to the saint: "Little Suckling Pig likes Lao Jia's granddaughter, the granddaughter of the old master Fu. This child also wants to complete the friendship between the Tu family and the three generations of the Jia family. The Jia family has been in charge for too long. It’s time for them to back down with dignity.”

The sage nodded, "It's time for the Jia family to give up their military power. Otherwise, in another 20 years, I'm worried that Gen'er won't be able to command the army."

The prince pinched his fingers on the side, waiting for his father and grandfather to pronounce the sentence.His little uneasy expression, in the eyes of a sage, is a proper young man with a spring in his arms.

"Gen'er, do you think the Jia family will be willing to give up their military power?"

The crown prince looked up at the sage and said, "Father, if Rong Guogong and the son are not willing to give up military power, father should have made a plan early."

"Are you willing? Then the princess and you will cry and beg, huh?"

"Father, the sons belong to the prince first. The Jia family refuses to let go of the military power. The grandfather and father should be replaced like the military power of the Beijing Palace. Even the military power of the Xining County King should be replaced."

The sage nodded, "You are so enlightened, it's time to go to court to observe politics. Father also started to go to court with your grandfather when he was 16 years old. I will ask your mother's intentions about the candidate for the crown prince. If your mother doesn't Different opinions, so be it."

The prince's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he thanked the saint shyly, "I thank my father."

When the sage and the empress mentioned the crown prince's choice of concubine, Shi smiled and said, "Ming Yun, Gen'er has long liked the little girl from Jia's family. It depends on what you and the empress think."

The prince who was sticking to the saint's side happily bowed to the queen when he heard what the queen said.

"The son will be perfect after thanking his mother."

Shi Shi knew her son's thoughts a long time ago, and she thought that the little girl from Jia's family was quite suitable.The little girl was beautiful and lovable, her eyes were exactly as her son said, she looked like she was smiling.She also has a gentle and generous personality, and is one of the best among the girls in the capital.

After confirming the candidate for the crown princess, the queen asked the sage by the way, "Mingyun, whose family should you choose for the crown prince Liangyuan? From the third rank to the fifth rank official family? If it is lower, I am afraid that the knowledge and education will not be satisfactory."

The sage looked at his son, "Does the prince have someone he likes?"

The prince blushed and shook his head, Jia Ying was the only girl he had ever seen outside the clan.

Shi Shi said: "Since this is the case, the queen mother will choose it for you after consideration."

The prince twitched a bit and said, "Queen, can you choose Liangyuan two years later?"

Shi Shi nodded, and then said: "Yes. You will have to get married in the future."

The sage looked at the prince and asked, "Do you think there is only one princess in the East Palace?"

The prince blushed and said hesitantly, "Father, can't you? Grandfather regretted it."

Shi Shi hurriedly said: "Geng'er, the queen mother doesn't want you to have so many people, but she can't be monogamous like ordinary people. Just like when your father was in the East Palace, choose two good ladies."

The sage looked at the hesitant prince and said: "Birth is a difficult problem. Your grandmother died after giving birth to three children. Although people's life expectancy increased at that time, there were too many people who could not live to be 50 years old. The emperor is looking forward to it." You can live to be a hundred years old. If you are 30 years old and choose a concubine in a hurry for your heirs, you are a prince, can you be worthy of Sheji?"

"Father, Jia Ying, like the queen mother, is also from a family of generals."

"It has little to do with someone's background. The key is to see if you like sports on weekdays, and the other is luck. Your imperial grandmother gave birth to a father and empress, and she left. The same is true for your fourth uncle's mother and concubine. There are many more examples of both mother and child dying inside and outside the palace. Your mother and queen are lucky, and your four brothers and sisters have all grown up safely."

The prince looked at his father and his mother, and he felt that his father had an attitude towards Concubine Chen and Concubine Li with or without it.But the emperor said so now...

"Father, is it only for the sake of the heirs to welcome Liangyuan into the palace?"

"Yes." The saint answered simply and neatly. "Before your mother entered the palace, your eldest brother and second brother were already born. Concubine Li gave birth to a daughter before and died. Otherwise, she would only have one daughter, just for the sake of your sister's descent, and she would not have given her a few years ago." A concubine. The royal concubine position is only awarded to concubines who have made great achievements in childbearing."

The prince was thoughtful, the sage gave Shi Shi a look, and Shi led everyone back out, leaving space for the sage and the prince.

"Geng'er, now that you're older, your father should tell you some old things. Your prince is very different from when your father was the prince. Because your grandmother passed away early, the nobles, virtuous, virtuous, and The four virtuous concubines are in charge of palace affairs together. Except for the noble concubine who has no children, concubines Shu, De and Xian all have sons under their knees."

"Is Concubine Shu the concubine of the Sixth Uncle?"

"Yes. Because Concubine Shu was involved in the affairs of the Eastern Palace, your grandfather found out and demoted her to Concubine Hui. This is because her eldest brother was guarding the northwest at that time, and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter. For the sake of it. Afterwards, Concubine Hui, who was grounded, got even worse..."

The sage told the prince one by one what happened in the palace that year in detail, and the prince's expression kept changing according to the sage's words.

After the sage finished speaking, the prince was silent for a while, Fang Youyou asked: "Father, what if you didn't see through that fake servant?"

The sage smiled wryly, "Your grandfather hated masculinity the most. Do you think he would have bad thoughts about Zhen, who was still the prince at that time?"

The prince was silent for a while, then nodded with difficulty.

"The imperial grandfather will be very disappointed and very uncomfortable." More, the prince didn't want to say, and dared not think about it.

"All the mouths make money and burn bones. If you add the officials of the East Palace, when your grandfather was marching westward, he competed with the officials of the imperial court. You can resemble the final end of your father. Hehe, definitely It didn't end well."

"Will it be like the confinement that the imperial grandfather said when he was drunk?"

"Yes. If I hadn't dispersed the subjects of the East Palace and told your grandfather that he has no urgency for the country, your grandfather would not have believed me."

The prince was silent for a while, and then asked again: "Father, if the emperor's grandfather hadn't conferred so many concubines, would there be no such things?"

"Gen'er, the second prince who was deposed as a commoner is four years younger than the father. In those years, even if the father sneezed, your grandfather would be nervous, and even take charge of the servants. In the huge royal family, only the father A prince. There are vassals in southern Zhili who are rebellious, and northern Zhili has clans that are covetous, and there are important ministers who are worried about the succession of the country. Your imperial grandfather has borne a lot of pressure."

"The imperial grandfather is also very pitiful."

"If you are on the throne and have the throne, you can't help yourself. If your mother and queen gave birth to only one of you, maybe your father would have to be drafted many times."

"Father isn't worried about the inner palace's upheaval?"

"Compared with strife in the inner palace, the saint sitting on the throne should be more worried about the successors of the royal family, whether there are enough heirs, and whether there are qualified heirs. If there is only one queen, the number of offspring he will have is also limited. Once an accident happens and the throne falls to the young emperor, if the government is controlled by someone like Wang Mang, it will not be far from being lost."

The crown prince nodded, "Father, my son understands that the country comes first. Don't worry, your son will not be like the emperor's grandfather, nor will he be like the emperor's great-grandfather."

"It's good if you understand. If you are not the prince, you can be as monogamous as you want. But the prince must have three or five sons in order to deal with accidents. Your mother will choose the right prince Liangyuan for you, They will enter the palace in front of the princess according to the etiquette."
