Chapter 464: Chapter 465

“Fishing?” Emperor Duanhua’s mind flickered, remembering the series of stumbling events since his ascension to the throne, his eyes couldn’t help but flinch! Subconsciously leaning toward His Highness, he said in a deep voice, “Did Minister Gu mean …?”

“The late emperor was murdered by the concubine of Emperor Huizong in the early years, and his body was not in good health.” Gu Shao sighed, “Therefore, his majesty was treated with extra love and care, and his majesty was kind, filial and fraternal, treating people with leniency, so it was inevitable that he caused people to be cynical and hateful, and I thought that he should not be unguarded!”

This was of course a statement to give face to Emperor Duanhua.

In fact, Gu Shao’s meaning is: Hianjia Emperor because of poor health, all day long worried about his sudden death, on the Duanhua Emperor this personally cultivated candidate for the Crown Prince is simply in the hands of the mouth, and Duanhua Emperor’s own performance, and can not convince the public, then Hianjia Emperor, when he was there, he pressed the scene is also just.

After Emperor Xianjia’s death, it would be strange if those who didn’t want Emperor Duanhua to succeed the throne didn’t do anything!

How could Gu Shao, as a veteran minister that Emperor Xianjia had personally entrusted to him, not keep an eye out for Emperor Duanhua?

Just one thing is that Emperor Xianjia is concerned about family, when he was alive, he clearly stated that he did not want to kill the two kings of Su Xiang or the family of the Grand Princess of Dai Guo. Duanhua emperor’s prestige and means was not as good as his own father, if he learns from his own father to settle old scores as soon as he comes to power, most likely will not be good;

Secondly, Emperor Xianjia’s brilliance was very deeply rooted in people’s hearts, so when he was alive, except for the two kings of Su Xiang who had people behind them, no one else showed any ambition. But it is still the same: Duanhua Emperor is far inferior to his father, so in front of Emperor Xianjia who is a little sheep, in front of Emperor Duanhua, whether he will be willing to continue to be a sheep or not, it is hard to say!

If Gu Shao, after the Duanhua Emperor ascended the throne, immediately held the old Emperor’s trust in his power, and used his means to keep an eye on the upper and lower levels he would have the ability to do so, but how would those lurking in the shadows be willing to jump out?

Not to mention the others, let’s just say that the couple of the Grand Princess of Dai Guo and the two Kings of Su Xiang, which one of them is not younger than Gu Shao?

If you can’t do anything under Gu Shao’s nose, the big deal is to boil Gu Shao to death!

That was why Gu Shao only stepped in when Emperor Duanhua met with real trouble both to sharpen Emperor Duanhua, and even more so to draw out these people with malicious intentions!

Emperor Duanhua took a deep breath and asked, “Unknown … Gu Xiang these days, can there be a harvest?”

“More than a gain?” Gu Shao said in a deep voice, “One could even say, it’s unexpected!”

“But I wonder, how unexpected is it?” Emperor Duanhua was slightly stunned at his words listening to Gu Shao’s meaning, those who coveted the throne, apparently there was a candidate that even Gu Shao had not anticipated?

But Emperor Duanhua was raised to the throne by Emperor Xianjia, and who else was qualified to challenge him, except for the two kings of Su Xiang, who else had the ability to do so?

“Unknown what kind of person does Your Majesty think His Highness King Liang is?” Gu Shao exhaled and asked without answering.

This question caused Emperor Duanhua to lose his color slightly, “Is Minister Gu saying that Third Brother has a mind that he shouldn’t have? How is this possible?!”

No wonder Emperor Duanhua felt incredible: although King Liang is also a prince, in terms of age is now also considered relatively long, but it is estimated that the dynasty and the field have not considered that this prince will inherit the throne, right?

After all, in terms of father’s favor, apart from King Qing who had never met Emperor Xianjia, King Liang was probably at the bottom of the list!

“Father has been devoted to cultivating me while he was alive due to his poor royal health.”

“The second brother, now the King of Xiang, although the birth mother is humble, the foster mother Jiang mother consort status is not low, and Jiang mother consort’s own flesh and blood Yushan, is one of the only two daughters of the Father Emperor, so much so that the Father Emperor indulgence. In view of the fact that Jiang’s mother and daughter were in the same position, the father used to think of King Xiang from time to time. What’s more, after King Xiang started to take over the crown, he got the help of the Imperial Aunt of Dai Guo!”

“As for the fourth brother, now King Suk, who also passed out, he is the mother’s own son, born of the Central Palace!”

“Before Father’s death, the one who served the most was Consort Warm Mother.”

“But everyone knows that father certainly loves warm mother consort’s posture, in terms of respect and sincerity, it is my biological mother, can not be compared to mother!”

“When Father decided to succeed the two kings of Su Xiang, the first thing he did was to request the Imperial Aunt of Jin to betroth Cousin Nie, who had made good friends with Mr. and Mrs. A Xu, to the king of Su, and the intention to love and care for her was so obvious.”

“Fifth brother, King Shu was the youngest son of his father when he was still alive, and at a young age, his father was very compassionate towards him during his lifetime. Even if he knew that King Shu’s temperament had a tendency to be arrogant, he could not afford to be harsh.”

“Only Third Brother …”

King Liang was raised by Empress Cui, and although Empress Cui looked at this young son as a treasure of her heart, the Dowager Empress, the two Grand Princesses, Empress Su, and other elders who could speak in front of Emperor Xianjia, were very bland towards him.

Most importantly, both Emperor Duanhua and King Liang were still young when Empress Dowager Cui had a grudge against the Grand Princess of Dai Guo!

“After that, the Imperial Aunt of the Dai Guo constantly slandered her father’s followers, and although father was wise enough not to listen to her provocative and slanderous words, but in order to give the Dai Guo the decency to do so, from then on, she also seldom went to the Xifu Palace …”

Emperor Xianjia chose his son between his son and his sister, but never chose his sister between his consort and his sister.

This point, do not have to Song Lu’s exposed everything on the temple, Duanhua emperor heart is also a number.

“Bowed by the Daikoku, Xifugong has rarely seen the face of heaven since then, and even with the third brother, the opportunity to be sainted after this has been few!”

So King Liang’s presence in front of Emperor Xianjia is definitely the weakest Empress Cui’s origin is just so, even if the outside family has the intention to support him to do something, but also do not have the ability to do so. And he himself, has not been rumored to have any outstanding strengths, the dynasty and the field, including Gu Shao before, his impression is: Queen Cui when the heart of the treasure to raise the youngest son.

And then there’s this: the Duanhua Emperor’s sibling brother.

A celestial nobleman who aims to be the king of wealth and idleness as soon as he lands.

Not obnoxious, but also absolutely no one would associate him with the big seat.

Now Gu Shao hinted that the one who came out of nowhere and coveted the throne was the King of Liang, and Emperor Duanhua couldn’t figure out how: ”I can say that I’m not thin on my third brother! Why would third brother take such a risk? Moreover, what qualifications does he have to take risks?”

The emperor is full of wariness of Su Xiang two kings, also full of murderous intent, but the king of Liang is really good everyone knows that the king of Liang was raised as a rich and noble king, but after he ascended to the throne, he immediately appointed the king of Liang to do the Secretary of Zongzheng, before the smallpox and other things, but also sent the king of Liang to do this situation, this posture of the eyes of the people can see, he is going to be the younger brother as a The left and right hand cultivation!

I don’t think I’ve ever wronged King Liang, have I?

Why should the King of Liang let a good day go by and start that mind that shouldn’t be started?

Most importantly, Emperor Duanhua had carefully gone through the recent reports he received on matters related to the country’s livelihood and military affairs, and couldn’t figure out where the King of Liang’s usurpation of the throne came from.

“Does Your Majesty still remember what happened to the Yi King’s Mansion?” Gu Shao saw that Emperor Duanhua’s head was full of fog, sighed, and started from the beginning, “When Prince Yi Jing was around, due to his fear of aiding and abetting the evil deeds of that year, he had been shutting his doors and almost isolating himself from the world. Until the year Su Xiang two kings seize the crown, this family party was dragged into the water!”

“At that time, you sent His Highness, King Liang, to the Yi Palace with the intention of drawing closer to Prince Yi Jing.”

“Who knows that after His Highness King Liang paid a visit to Prince Yi Jing, Prince Yi Jing took a short picture with his hairy wife and then self . . killed himself!”

“There was quite a storm over this!”

Emperor Duanhua recalled the past and murmured, “Minister Gu is saying that Uncle Yijing, indeed, was forced to die by Third Brother? But why did he do it?”

That time Yi Jing Wang self. After the end, all parties seized this matter to tear, Duanhua Emperor also privately asked his brother after.

At that time, the King of Liang said: after meeting the King of Yi Jing, according to the instructions from Emperor Duanhua’s side, he first pulled the relationship with uncle and nephew, then emphasized Emperor Xianjia’s importance to his eldest son, and finally politely expressed his intention of pulling the King of Yi Jing’s strings.

After speaking, see Yi Jing Wang hesitates, think of Duan Hua Emperor side of the strategist urged, Yi Jing Wang cowardly and soft, appropriate time to pressure, can urge him to decide as soon as possible, so added a few sentences like “you do not think about how you this royal family fell to such a point today, now there is a change of fate to change the situation of a great opportunity in front of you, you do not cherish now, when you regret in the future, do not blame my nephew did not warn you” intimidating words. Now there is a great opportunity to change your fate and situation in front of you, you now do not cherish, the future regret when it is too late, do not blame nephew did not remind you” threatening words.

And then it was goodbye, too.

The people on Emperor Duanhua’s side analyzed it down and thought that it was likely that the Su Xiang Er Wang’s side also made similar threats to King Yi Jing, causing the timid King Yi Jing to fall into despair and eventually take the narrow path the last meeting with his hairy wife was naturally to explain the aftermath.

This is something that Mrs. Yi, oh, now it should be called concubine Kang, acquiesced to in the thorough investigation that followed.

After all, Prince Yi Jing was known in the community as the “Quail Prince”.

It’s honestly not surprising that someone who’s been such a wimp all his life would end up being a wimp as well.

Therefore, when Emperor Duanhua found out about it, seeing that the King of Liang had a face of chagrin and guilt, repeatedly saying that he could not do right by his elder brother, not only did he not blame him, but also warmly pacified him with a few words.

Because of this incident, Emperor Duanhua left an impression on King Liang that he was not talented enough: because King Yi Jing had killed himself after meeting with King Liang, if the person who was sent to enlist him was capable, he might have realized during the conversation that he had already been knocked down by King Su Xiang’s side. If the person who was sent to enlist him was competent, he might have realized during the conversation that King Yijin had been beaten up by King Su Xiang’s side.

Then there could be a different method of communicating with him, and even if he couldn’t win him over, it wouldn’t be so bad that King Ijen would turn around and take a shortcut, causing the Eastern Palace to be thrown into a storm!

And why would Emperor Duanhua defend himself against a sibling who had no favor from the late emperor, no strong foreign family, no support from courtiers, no power, and still no ability?

When Emperor Duanhua thought of this, his face couldn’t help but sink, “Minister Gu is saying that Third Brother, he, has been pretending all along?”

“Whether or not His Highness King Liang is pretending, I don’t dare to jump to conclusions yet.” Gu Shao said with a straight face, “But Jane Lezhi’s power, I have learned it many times!”

“Jian Lezhi?!” Emperor Duanhua was completely confused!

Aren’t we talking about King Liang?

How is it that first we talked about King Yi Jing, and now a Jian Ping Yu has popped up?

The emperor subconsciously said, “Isn’t that old piker dead?”

“But the schemes he laid out and the manpower he left behind during his lifetime are still there.” Gu Shao sighed here, a touch of gloom and annoyance swept across his brows this gloom and annoyance is of course towards Jian Ping Yu and settled his mind before continuing, “The past of the Jian family, the late emperor had said something to me before he was born. had said something to me, I think your majesty knows better than I do, I won’t repeat it here!”

Seeing Emperor Duanhua nod his head.

Gu Shao said, “Jane Lezhi’s knee three people, he attaches the most importance to the second house, helpless Jane Li Kuang everywhere inferior to Jane Li Miao not to mention, even Jane three dukes, also far less favored than Yan Guo Gong I said in front of the Royal!”

Hearing this, Emperor Duanhua already understood what he meant, and said with an ironic face, “A Xu, for one thing, is the one I watched grow up, and for another, when he first seized the Crown Prince, he didn’t put in a lot of effort! So in my mind, I have always regarded him as a full brother and sister! Although Jane Yiyu is also my cousin, but in terms of the status in my mind, naturally, is far worse than the A Xu!”

Although Jian Xubai is Jane family heir to the second house, but the relationship with the biological father of Jane Li Kuang is the same as fire and water, and Jane Yiyu brotherly relations between the better last year, but also in the promotion of all parties, simply succeeded to the third house!

Seeing this situation, how could Jian Ping Yu, who favored the second house, not be anxious?

But Jian Yiyu has not been very close to the royal family, and also Shang over the Changxing Princess, and finally with the Princess and divorce so a lot of tossing and turning, Duanhua Emperor is not tired of this cousin is not bad, how can possibly favor him? Not to mention favoring him over Jian Xubai!

In this way, the second house is destined to be unable to turn over and be suppressed by the third house for the rest of its life!

Or even worse!

“At that time, although his majesty’s throne was secure, but the two kings of Su Xiang already had the intention of competing for the throne, and Jian Le Zhi noticed that, and then he got up his mind: since the second house that he favored, it was impossible for him to compete for favor with his majesty over the Duke of Yan.” Gu Shao said here, slightly sneering, “Then, he might as well simply, take this opportunity to intervene in the change of the Crown Prince! So as to give the second house a fighting chance!”

Duanhua Emperor’s eyes flashed sternly, subconsciously grasping the paperweight on the case, with his understanding of Jane’s family feuds, it was very possible that Jane Ping Yu would do such a thing for the sake of the second house.

Just the thought of a mere vassal who had been driven back to his old home, for his own selfishness, was actually going to target himself, the then Crown Prince and now Supreme Emperor, even though Emperor Duanhua’s nature was still quite peaceful, he couldn’t help but be burning with anger at this moment!

“So he chose the King of Liang?” Emperor Duanhua changed his address to the King of Liang and said in a deep voice, “But you also said that at that time, the two kings of Su Xiang had already shown their intention to compete for the throne, so looking at the advantages, how could he choose the King of Liang?!”

“Moreover, what kind of purpose and inside information does the death … of Uncle Yi Jing have?!”
