Iron Dynasty

Chapter 41: Empress Zhao's mind

   "Cough cough, I don't have such a surly, aggressive son who abandoned his fief and fled." Xiao Wenxuan put down the jade wine glass again and coughed twice.

   "The emperor, take care of the dragon body!" Empress Zhao was worried, and raised her hand to pat Xiao Wenxuan on the back.

  Over fifty years old, Xiao Wenxuan's body is getting worse every day. There are countless imperial medicines. Xiao Wenxuan's body has not improved at all. It is precisely because of this that all the princes in Chang'an have their own ideas in their hearts.

   This time, Empress Zhao would so easily agree to Zhenfei’s request, not just for perfume, but as the mother of the world, how could she be so superficial.

   Her real intention is to help the prince out there. After all, the prince is gradually falling behind in the throne dispute.

Today, among the nine princes of the country, the three princes and the five princes are from the same mother, and they naturally support each other. The second prince, the sixth prince, and the nine princes form a group. The fourth prince is a very smart person, except for the eighth prince. Walking very close, the seventh prince Xiao Ming was drawing in.

   But because of the remoteness of Xiao Ming's fief, the fourth prince was quite detached from Xiao Ming. She had seen this clearly, and wanted to use this opportunity to find a prince outside to support her.

She knew that she wanted the prince to ascend to the throne, but the support of the Zhao family was not enough. When Xiao Wenxuan was able to ascend to the throne, in addition to being a prince, he also received the support of most of the princes. Even so, there were still The prince was dissatisfied with the rebellion.

After    first ascended to the throne, Xiong Wenxuan personally put on his armor and drove him personally. It took five years to defeat the strongest king of the feudal clan at the time.

   It is precisely because of this that Xiao Wenxuan is extremely suspicious of his brother. This is also the reason for the unjust case of King Ning, but no one dared to say a word before him in this case.

"The princes did not let me worry. Sooner or later, I will have to give them anger. How to take care, just say the prince, a man in his thirties, all day long, stunned, unlearned, and not a prince at all. Today morning, I asked him what to do if the people have no food to eat? Guess what he said?"

   "The emperor, although Yi'er is incompetent, she is kind after all." Empress Zhao defended the prince. After all, he was her own son. In her eyes, no prince could compare to him.

"Benevolent! Humph, indeed benevolent, he said that the people have no food to eat, they can eat mutton and beef, it is a jerk, such an incompetent prince, how dare you let me give the world to him, now every minister has to play to let me scrap Prince, establish another prince!" Xiao Wenxuan cursed.

Empress Zhao’s face was blue and white, and she sternly said: “The emperor, the prince is the eldest son after all. Even if he is incompetent, he can’t be said to be abolished. , After all, all the princes behind them are clans and nobles. If you can't control it, it is the world's cannibalism."

   Xiao Wenxuan sighed suddenly, "Because of this, I did not abolish the prince, and I received a secret report from Pang Yukun. The other day, King Qi was assassinated."

   "Assassination!" Empress Zhao exclaimed, "Why sister Zhenfei didn't reveal a word to me."

"It is estimated that King Qi did not talk to Concubine Zhen about this matter. He is still sensible, and he will take care of his mother's feelings." Xiao Wenxuan said. The prince."

   Empress Zhao rolled her eyes, and this matter can be brought into play by the topic, she said: "The emperor, this prince has not been abolished, and the other princes cannot help but kill each other. If the prince is really abolished, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xiao Wenxuan was on the throne only after experiencing brothers' cannibalism. The last thing he didn't want to see was that his son would repeat his path. He said: "Don't worry, I won't abolish the prince, but now the prince is alone among the princes. Gu, if he wants to sit firmly in this position, he can't have a support."

This was talking about Empress Zhao’s heart. She said: “The emperor, isn’t King Qi the most suitable candidate? Among the princes today, he doesn’t have a clear choice of who to support, and there is nothing behind Qi and Zhen. The gentry support, and the threat to the prince is very small."

"I have been thinking about this during this period of time. Pang Yukun's letter said that King Qi has changed a lot now, and it seems that he has begun to manage the fief with his heart. Pang Yukun will not lie to me. If this is the case, he can support King Qi to restrain other princes. Now," Xiao Wenxuan said.

Empress Zhao was overjoyed. Xiao Wenxuan’s ideas coincided with her. The prince didn’t know how to win over other princes, so she could only help the prince, “In this case, why didn’t the emperor allocate silver to the king like Qi? What?"

   Xiao Wenxuan had always hesitated before coming here. If Xiao Ming was incompetent, no matter how much silver was allocated to him, he would just squander it. He was suspicious by nature, and Pang Yukun didn't believe it all.

   Until today, he sent his confidant to Qingzhou back to report, but he confirmed what Pang Yukun said.

   But even so, he never thought about supporting Xiao Ming~www.ltnovel.com~ Those powerful princes were enough to cause him trouble, and the reminder of Empress Zhao made him completely understand.

   Now that the prince dispute has taken shape, he can only balance each other among the princes. Now the prince is the weakest. Although he is not sure that the king of Qi can turn back the prodigal son, he can only try it.

He said: "I also understand King Qi's temperament. I don't want to be a pretender. I will allocate a part of the silver to him for the time being. If he uses the silver in the right way, I will seriously consider supporting him. If he is still the same as before. , Don’t expect King Qi to help the prince, because he himself can’t support the wall with mud.”

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Empress Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. For the prince, she said that she could not help Xiao Ming.

   Xiao Wenxuan sighed, drank the wine in the glass, and suddenly smiled: "I have to say that the wine sent by the king of Qi is quite to my appetite, and I hope he will not disappoint me."

   "The emperor likes it, King Qi will definitely be very happy." Empress Zhao filled Xiao Wenxuan with another glass.

   Because of the fine wine, Xiao Wenxuan stayed overnight in Fengming Hall. The next day, Empress Zhao personally went to Bishui Pavilion and told Concubine Zhen about the transfer of silver from the Emperor's Association to King Qi.

   However, she didn't tell Zhen Fei Ming about the plan in her heart, but she believed that with Zhen Fei's cleverness, she would naturally not fail to see why she was so dedicated to helping Xiao Ming.

   The influence of perfume and fine wine spread in the palace, Xiao Wenxuan agreed to allocate silver, and the two things Xiao Ming hoped would be achieved smoothly.
