Since last year, when Emperor Xuanzheng knew that his good sons wanted to intervene in the salt transportation, and even reached a consensus in private, and kept him as the father from him, he felt a little restless when he slept.Emperor Xuanzheng was very suspicious because of being restrained in childhood, and this suspicion finally overcame his preference for the third prince and his trust in Concubine Chen Defei's mother's family, even though Concubine Chen De's mother's family was also the mother of Emperor Xuanzheng's biological mother. The clan was single-handedly raised by Emperor Xuanzheng.Because of this, Emperor Xuanzheng reprimanded a group of officials, and praised the seventh son who he didn't value much, and let him go out of the palace to build a mansion.He originally planned to push the seventh son out to muddy the water.However, the Seventh Prince was so unfavored in his early years that he didn't even make a sound when he threw this stone into the water, and even though the Seventh Prince had already left the palace, he was still the same as when he was living in the palace. Every day I pay my respects, and I never let him down. Besides, I don't see him win over courtiers, nor do I see him currying favor with the clan.Although Emperor Xuanzheng was grateful for the filial piety of the seventh prince, it made him unable to achieve his goal after all, so he became more distressed, and his dissatisfaction with the third and fourth princes became more.

But that's not enough.Before meeting Jia Lin, the Seventh Prince had endured it for so many years, and if he made a move this time, he would definitely see blood.Even without Jia Lin, the Seventh Prince had to find a way to aggravate Emperor Xuanzheng's suspicion, so that he could stand out. It can be said that it was the Seventh Prince's handwriting to reveal the matter of salt transportation.But now that there is one more Jia Lin, knowing that Emperor Xuanzheng still has Anbu, the Seventh Prince directly made the chessboard bigger.Originally, those officials who submitted the memorial to ask the emperor to appoint a crown prince were only sent by the third or fourth princes to throw stones and ask for directions. Emperor Xuanzheng knew that his sons' small actions were not good enough in his opinion, and he was also happy with the power of the third and fourth sons. A delicate balance is maintained, and they contain each other.But in the past few months, more and more officials have asked for the appointment of a prince, and these are all pure people who should not belong to any faction.Only then did Emperor Xuanzheng feel that something was out of his control.

The master of Qingling County said that the illness was simply a fuse.Princess Qingling was not sick, and she couldn't pretend to be sick. After all, according to her status, if she was sick, the palace would send a doctor.Therefore, Princess Qingling used medicine.And where did her medicine come from?Emperor Xuanzheng learned from Anbu that the medicine was filially given by the disciples of the third prince.Looking further down, it was Princess Huaiyu who came up with this idea for her daughter Princess Qingling and helped her hire an eminent monk, but the eminent monk was recommended by someone from the fourth prince.Suspicious people can't help but think too much, Emperor Xuanzheng felt more and more that the third and fourth princes were trying to curry favor with Princess Qingling, just for the power of Zhennanhou and Xijinhou!He is not dead yet, the people below have already calculated this, how can Emperor Xuanzheng not be angry?It was the three princes and the four princes who often came to show their filial piety in front of Emperor Xuanzheng, so that Emperor Xuanzheng believed that they had no second thoughts, but the people below kept coming in front of the prince, and Emperor Xuanzheng felt more and more uncomfortable.

Emperor Xuan Zheng waved his hand and let Qin Shu and Shui Yun go down, leaving only Chang Fu to wait on him.Only then did he pull out a book from the stack of memorials on the right.And because Chang Fu had been standing behind him, Emperor Xuanzheng didn't notice that when Shui Ying left, Chang Fu nodded invisibly to Shui Ying.

In fact, Emperor Xuanzheng knew that he was not young anymore, and the hearts of the officials were naturally fluctuating, and the third and fourth sons had been so smooth these years, it was inevitable that they would grow up... Although, Emperor Xuanzheng did He wanted to pass on the throne to him a hundred years later... but giving it by himself was not the same as asking them eagerly.If they can't wait, will there be forced palaces in the future?Even now the relationship with these two sons is good, but Emperor Xuanzheng still thinks too much.Perhaps, it was precisely because no one knew that Emperor Xuanzheng still had Anbu in his hands, so they dared to act recklessly?If the dark part is turned into the bright part, will it be able to act as a deterrent, so that the people below can be honest for a while?The more Emperor Xuanzheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible.

The memorial that Emperor Xuanzheng took out was written by Han Ping (Han Yi's father).Han Ping is aloof, and he always walks alone on weekdays. Even if he is in the same department as him, he often can't chat with him.However, Han Ping is indeed a practical person, and he handles things with moderation, and he will not deliberately offend anyone, so in the court, some people will sell him to save face.Don't get close, don't offend, this is what most officials think of Han Ping.This memorial was submitted last month, and Emperor Xuanzheng pressed it down.

Han Ping's memorial was written very plainly, just like him, without any fancy rhetoric, and only one central idea, that is, he felt that there were certain problems in the current official verification system. But this is not enough...Han Ping is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and submitting such a memorial is not considered an overreach.At that time, when he saw this memorial, Emperor Xuanzheng felt a little moved.Jin Yiwei's reputation is not good, but why not change it up?As written in Han Ping's memorial, it is better to directly set the Anbu as a supervisory agency, so that these secret affairs can also be transferred to the bright side, so that the people below know that he can hold their hands. handle it!

Now, seeing that the people below are not paying attention to him as the emperor, Emperor Xuanzheng finally decided to put this little thought into action.

Looking back at Qin Shu and Jia Lin, since the biggest boss, the emperor, has acquiesced, then this marriage is finally settled.Qin Shu, as the son of the Marquis of Zhennan, since he wanted to marry a man together, it meant that his position as the son of the prince would be removed sooner or later.Reminiscent of Qin Shu's biological mother is Princess Min Rou, and his stepmother is Princess Qingling, all of a sudden, everyone feels that Princess Qingling is indeed more loved by the emperor, no, for her, the emperor even Qin Shu This grandson was not treated too favorably.Therefore, Princess Qingling, who was still "seriously ill", received several big gifts.

It's not like everyone thinks so.Princess Changle, as the aunt of Emperor Xuanzheng, is now over 70 years old. Since she supported the emperor's personal administration more than 50 years ago, she has been the most respected person in the emperor's heart, and the emperor is even willing to kneel down to her.Emperor Xuanzheng's biological mother died young, and he respected Princess Changle as his mother.And Princess Huaiyu, as the only daughter of the eldest princess, could make the emperor disregard the ancestral code and confer the title of a cousin with a different surname as a princess, which is enough to show the emperor's honor to their family.In the generation of Princess Qingling, no matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, the world will only think that he has continued this kind of honor all the way.In addition to the matter of Princess Minrou back then, it was said that she died of dystocia, but maybe Princess Qingling and Marquis of Zhennan secretly made peace with each other, and then joined forces to kill her?What is right and wrong here, who can tell?However, even so, the emperor did not convict the Marquis of Zhennan, but acquiesced in the marriage of Princess Qingling. In this way, everyone felt that the emperor had a preference for the eldest princess of Changle.There are great favors and powerful connections, so there are so many Qingling princesses competing to curry favor here.

However, there is a method in this world called flattery. The reason why the Seventh Prince wants to create momentum for the Zhennan Hou Mansion secretly is because of what Jia Lin said.It can be said that when Emperor Xuanzheng personally made Qin Shu his son, he was actually expressing his dissatisfaction.And he allowed Princess Qingling to marry, simply because the military power in the Zhennanhou's mansion has been seized, and the old Zhennanhou, who is quite prestigious in the army, has also gone, that is to say, Xuanzheng The emperor believed that the marriage between the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Marquis of Zhennan was no longer a threat to him.But look now, as the daughter of the Hou family of the Western Jin Dynasty and the wife of the Hou family of Zhennan, Princess Qingling is being so flattered by others, that is a shining target.Sure enough, when he saw the heavy traffic in front of Zhennanhou's Mansion, Emperor Xuanzheng dropped the things in his hands again.

Moreover, here is another thing to mention, although people in this era are superstitious, those who are emperors seem to believe in the destiny.But in fact, Emperor Xuanzheng was not. He never believed in these things. The reason why he advocated religion was to better educate the people, not to believe it himself.In other words, Princess Qingling found a master to give orders, which was a wrong approach from the very beginning.

If Emperor Xuanzheng really believed in the destiny, it can be said that after Jia Baoyu was born, the entire Jia family would be finished.At the beginning, the Jia family made the fact that Baoyu was born with jade known to everyone, and as if they were afraid of ruining his luck, they pasted red paper with his name everywhere and asked the traffickers to read his name. Even people who didn't know it at the beginning, after doing this, they all know it.This kind of thing happened at the foot of the imperial city, so naturally Emperor Xuanzheng couldn't hide it from him.It is said that Baoyu is born with great fortune, but the most noble jade in the world is the jade seal in the hands of the emperor. If Baoyu is a girl, then it will be fine. At worst, she will enter the palace as a concubine in the future, but now you Baoyu is a boy. Is the government going to rebel, or what?It was precisely because Emperor Xuanzheng didn't believe in this matter of destiny, so he laughed it off, so that Jia's family took that piece of jade as a treasure.

It was also because Emperor Xuanzheng didn't believe in the destiny, so after Qingling County Master was seriously ill and the master's orders came out, he felt something was wrong and wanted to investigate it carefully.And the Seventh Prince, who has been following the whole development of the situation, is not afraid that he will investigate, but is afraid that he will not investigate.As soon as Emperor Xuanzheng moved, the so-called evidence prepared by the Seventh Prince "just happened" to leak out.That is to say, in fact, the whole matter is under the control of the Seventh Prince and the others, including the fact that Shui Ying formed a relationship with Ying Hao a few months ago, and that Shui Ying got a new parrot that can tell jokes. When the bird entered the palace and wanted to present it to the emperor, it saw Qin Shu kneeling outside the Qinzheng Pavilion.
