Chapter 140 Worry in the Heart
Yu Jian, the admiral of the Nine Gates Division, also said angrily after hearing the Queen's words:
"Hu Gao's ambitions are well known to everyone in the court. His purpose of recruiting the ministers of the court to work for him is very obvious. Your Highness, if they continue like this, it will be very difficult for you to successfully inherit the throne in the future. A big resistance. He now has Liu Gu's military power outside, and he can win over the ministers inside the court. No matter what major events happen in the court in the future, he can ensure that he will be safe and worry-free. So Your Highness, you must also think We must find ways to enhance our influence and train our own people. Even I, the Nine Admirals, can't do it. If Hu Gao really wants to do something for you, wouldn't we just be passive?"
The queen also said to the prince:
"Yu Jian is right. Hu Gao is relying on the power in his hands to continue to expand his power. The purpose is to find opportunities to pave the way for King Wei. Once they wait for the time to come, they will definitely attack you. When the time comes, they will attack you. What did you use to resist? Didn't you see that Concubine Li relied on the emperor's favor to her, and she almost didn't even look down on me as the queen. If one day, King Wei really gains power, then we will be more There is no way to survive. You haven't seen how cruel they were to General Li's family. They really didn't even spare the women and children. The emperor is also old and confused. He listened to the slanders of their father and daughter and what they said to them. , nor do they investigate and obtain testimonies. The Emperor also doesn’t think carefully about the reasons why a loyal minister and good general like General Li would do such a thing of treason and surrender to the enemy. It’s really outrageous to think about it.”
The prince slowly looked at the queen and said:
"Hu Gao came to visit my father today. He thought that I accompanied Jiang Chen to visit the Li family's grave, so he took advantage of me. He felt that the emperor would definitely punish me severely, so I didn't give him this chance this time. I succeeded. I couldn't let him lead me by the nose in everything. I refuted him with General Li, whom he hated the most, and I took advantage of the situation to suggest to my father. Let him restart the investigation of the general, and we can't let Zhongliang be wronged like this."
Yu Jian asked him curiously:
"What did the emperor say? Did he agree to your request?"
The queen said to Jian:
"You are too naive. How could the emperor change his mind so easily? If he agrees, and General Li is proven innocent, then who will bear the responsibility for the wrongful killing of the Li family. So he will never agree to repeat Investigating the case."
The prince said to Jian:
"What my mother said was absolutely correct. As soon as I brought it up, my father scolded me. He asked me not to mention it again. If I insisted on doing this, he said he would remove me from the title of crown prince. .”
The queen looked at the prince and said to him worriedly:
"Prince, you must be careful when speaking in front of your father. Don't anger him. Not only will the problem not be solved, but it will also cause unnecessary trouble to you. Are you not following him now? When Hu Gao and the emperor are facing each other head-on. Your wings are not yet full, so you just need to abide by the rules and prevent them from catching you. That Hu Gao is now eager for you to do something extraordinary. Things. He can make a big fuss about you, and you should not show your talents too much now. You must hide your strength and bide your time, recruit some available talents around yourself, and make contributions to the court. When the time comes for you, he will wait for him. It won’t be that easy to shake your position again.”
Although the prince was not the Queen's biological child, since Concubine Shu passed away, she had followed the emperor's will and kept the prince, who was still the King of Jin, by her side.
The queen gave birth to two princesses under her knees, but she never gave birth to a prince for the emperor.This was a very big regret in her heart.
Her two princesses are both older than King Jin.When King Jin was sent to the Queen's Palace, the Queen was very happy, which made up for her embarrassing situation of having no children.
As the mistress of the world, the queen only gave birth to two princesses.Even if she is a queen and does not have a prince in her name, no matter who inherits the throne in the future, she will only be a queen mother in name only and will eventually be ostracized.
Now that Concubine Shu has passed away, King Jin has been adopted in her name as the queen.This not only improved the status of King Jin, but also made him legitimately the legitimate son of the Queen.The queen no longer has to feel guilty for not giving birth to a prince for the emperor.
After the King of Jin was adopted into the name of the Queen, he naturally became the crown prince of the Xuanwu Dynasty.
The queen has always treated the prince as if she were her own child, and the prince is even more grateful to repay her kindness and is extremely filial to the queen.
The queen hoped that the prince would successfully inherit the throne, but her wish was granted.
Who knows, Concubine Li will appear in the middle of the palace.Since the death of the emperor's favorite concubine Shu, the emperor has been depressed because he missed his concubine.
As the master of the six palaces, the queen, in order for the emperor to get over the grief of losing his concubine, asked the concubines of each palace to take turns accompanying the emperor to make him happy.
But the emperor was not interested in those concubines, so the queen had no choice but to accept concubines for the emperor again.
Among the women sent by these civil and military officials, the emperor took a fancy to Hu Lijing, the daughter of Hu Gao, who was the censor at the time.
After Hu Gao's daughter entered the palace, the emperor named her Concubine Li.This concubine Li was young, charming, and deeply loved by the emperor.
Since then, the emperor has long forgotten about missing Concubine Shu.
Concubine Li's Kunning Palace became a place where the emperor often visited.From then on, the pink and white in the sixth house will have no color.
A year later, Concubine Li gave birth to a little prince to the emperor.As soon as he was born, he was named King of Wei by the emperor.
Hu Gao's position has also been rising steadily.Until now, he has become the prime minister of the dynasty who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
King Wei also grew up in this kind of love.Seeing King Wei grow up, father and daughter Hu Gao and Concubine Li relied on their power to dominate the government and won the emperor's favor.I had the idea in my mind to let King Wei replace the prince.
And the current prince was not only well-educated by the queen, but when he came of age, the emperor married him to the daughter of a minister of the court as the crown prince.
Over the past few years, I have a son and a daughter.His position as prince is also more stable.
And Li Chenglong, the general of Zhenxi who holds military power, is the prince's uncle.It can be said that the status of the prince is very stable in the court.
If their father and daughter want King Wei to replace the crown prince, they must first eliminate Li Chenglong, the most powerful backer behind him.
And Li Chenglong guarded the Western Xinjiang, his military exploits were outstanding and he was highly regarded by the emperor.This Li Chenglong has become a worry for Hu Gao and his daughter.
