The news of Wu Ji and Xiao Jing's big wedding caused a sensation in Luoyang City. Not only did the emperor specially bestow a large princess mansion, even the queen mother came out of the palace to be the officiant for the couple.
One must know that before this, only Qi Wang Xiao Jie and Qin Wang Xiao Huang were able to enjoy such treatment, which is enough to show that the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to this marriage.
But it is also understandable, after all, the Wu family is the queen mother's natal family, and Wu Ji is the only seedling of the Wu family, so the queen mother naturally hopes that Wu Ji can spread the branches and leaves for the descendants of the Wu family.
Although Wu Tai was not very satisfied with Xiao Jing, the granddaughter-in-law of Princess Yong'an, after all, she was also of the Tian family's blood. To put it bluntly, once the queen mother died in the future, the Wu family and Wu Ji would still have to be in Xiao Jing's favor.
Therefore, in order to reflect the Wu family's commitment to this marriage, the wedding was held on a grand scale. Senior officials and dignitaries in Beijing and China were all invited, and the wedding banquet lasted until the evening before the guests dispersed.
Xiao Ji went back to Changning Palace with the queen mother, but the queen mother did not rush back to her own Longevity Palace. Instead, she asked the eunuchs and maids around her to leave, and asked Xiao Ji to accompany her to stroll around the imperial garden alone.
Xiao Ji also guessed that the Empress Dowager had something to say to him, but he didn't say much, just silently supported the Empress Dowager, and the mother and son walked in the huge imperial garden while blowing their minds.
In the dead of night, with the night wind blowing away the heat of the day, Xiao Ji felt a long-lost relaxation in his heart, and he couldn't help smiling and asked the queen mother, "Mother, there are only us, mother and son, in the imperial garden. If you have anything to say, just speak up." Just say it."
The queen mother stopped, looked at her son, nodded, and said calmly: "Since the emperor has said so, the Ai family will not beat around the bush."
Although the Empress Dowager's tone was very calm, Xiao Ji still guessed the weight of the next words from the expression on the Empress Dowager's face, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and his complexion became positive.
The Empress Dowager took a deep look at Xiao Ji, and asked in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the state system. A harem woman from the Ai family shouldn't talk too much, but this matter is also related to the country of our Xiao family, so we should treat it as the Ai family. Let me ask this matter as an elder, I wonder when the emperor plans to formally appoint King Qi as the crown prince?"
Xiao Ji never expected that the Empress Dowager would ask this question, he was completely unprepared, and stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
He still clearly remembered that more than a year ago, he moved to formally appoint Qi Wang Xiaojie as the crown prince, but was dissuaded by the queen mother because he was worried that the existence of the royal concubine would make the Wang family make a comeback. wait.
Unexpectedly, after more than a year, the queen mother's attitude changed 180 degrees, and she asked herself when she planned to make Xiao Jie the crown prince.
Seeing that Xiao Ji didn't respond for a long time, the Queen Mother's eyes became sharper, and she continued to ask: "Could it be that the emperor didn't intend to appoint King Qi as the crown prince?"
Seeing the Queen Mother standing and talking all the time, Xiao Ji was worried that the Queen Mother was tired, so he helped the Queen Mother to sit down in a gazebo next to her, and then asked slowly, "Has the Queen Mother heard anything recently?"
"The Ai family lives deep in the Longevity Palace, and they rarely step out of the palace gate, and they only ask about political affairs, so how can they hear the wind outside." The Queen Mother shook her head, and then continued, "It's just that the position of the East Palace has been pending. Aijia just wants to hear what the emperor thinks."
Xiao Ji understood what the Empress Dowager meant. In fact, not only the Empress Dowager, many ministers wrote letters to him, admonishing him to set up a crown prince. If the day is uncertain, the subjects of the world will feel uneasy, and they want him to establish a prince as soon as possible.
For this kind of memorial, Xiao Ji's attitude is ambiguous, and he will not publish it.
But now that even the Queen Mother is asking about this matter, Xiao Ji naturally can no longer play sloppy and perfunctory. He sighed heavily: "The Queen Mother knows that among the many sons of the sons, Yuer is the best one. Do you want to make him the crown prince?"
Knowing the son is like the mother, why the Queen Mother doesn't know her son's thoughts, she also wondered why Xiao Ji didn't formally appoint Xiao Jie as the prince, but it's just inconvenient to ask.
It's just that recently Xiao Jie strongly recommended Wu Ji to be reused, and he also made great efforts to promote the marriage between Wu Ji and Princess Yong'an, which not only allowed the Queen Mother to see his vision and ability again, but also solved the Queen Mother's worries.
After all, although the Empress Dowager has been in the palace for many years, she still remembers her natal family all the time, and also worried about how the Wu family will gain a foothold in the world after she went to see the late emperor.
Just because Xiao Jie had done such a great favor to the Wu family, the Queen Mother reciprocated, so naturally she wanted to find an opportunity to repay Xiao Jie well.
But now the position of the East Palace has been hanging in the balance. Everyone knows that the emperor wants to appoint Xiao Jie, the king of Qi, but for some reason he has not formally issued a decree. The Queen Mother also wants to ask clearly, so as to help Xiao Jie Returned his favor.
But now hearing her own son's confession, the queen mother was also a little confused for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Since Hu'er is so outstanding, the emperor also intends to appoint him as the heir, but why hasn't he made a decree for so long?"
Xiao Ji turned his eyes to the west, and then heaved a long sigh and said: "The reason why my son-in-law didn't register Hsu'er as the crown prince is because he was afraid that the same room would fight each other, and brothers would kill each other."
Seeing this, the Queen Mother still didn't understand, she frowned and said, "Your Majesty is talking about King Qin?"
Xiao Ji nodded heavily, with a trace of annoyance clearly on his face: "I made a wrong move before, and it's too late to regret it now. When I sent Huang'er to Liangzhou, I planned to come and see Huang'er Second, to share the military power in Wang Cheng's hands."
"Huang'er has indeed lived up to my expectations. Not only has he regained the Western Regions for Daning, but he has also successfully dispatched a large number of Wang Cheng's troops. Now he is holding a large number of troops."
"But he and Hu'er have always been at odds, and I have been watching the open and secret struggle between the two. I am worried that once Hu'er is formally registered as the crown prince, Huang'er will definitely be dissatisfied. I'm afraid that when the time comes..."
Xiao Ji didn't say any more, this was the thing he regretted most in his heart. At the beginning, because Wang Cheng supported himself in Liangzhou, the court had nothing to do, and Xiao Huang took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Liangzhou. Xiao Ji agreed to this matter by accident, thinking about himself No matter what, a son is more reliable than a foreign minister with ulterior motives.
Moreover, Xiao Jie is good at governing and Xiao Huang is good at fighting. In the future, Xiao Jie will rule the world, Xiao Huang will sit on the frontier, and Daning will be forever.
However, following the incident between Song Guifei's sister and brother and Wang Sheng, Xiao Ji also suddenly realized that his son's city was much deeper than he imagined, and he suddenly suspected that if Xiao Jie really ascended the throne in the future, Xiao Huang Would you like to help your younger brother?
He didn't want his two sons to fight to the death for the throne before his bones were cold in the future.
The queen mother also realized the emperor's difficulties, and was silent for a while.
(The idea is here for the time being, and I haven't figured out how to persuade Xiao Ji to make up his mind to formally establish a reserve)
