The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

A very confidential and important meeting had just been held in a room at the end of the courtyard.

In fact, this is a secret stronghold hidden in the capital by Qin Wang Qi, and there is a tunnel leading to Qin Wangfu.The king of Qin often wore casual clothes here to listen to secret information or hook up with the ministers of the court.

Grand Tutor Zhao Yuanzhou guessed why King Qin asked him to come here, turned and admired an antique jasper cup in his hand, and praised: "Only you, King Qin, can see such a treasure. The old man has opened his eyes again today."

Zhao Yuanzhou didn't want to get involved in the battle for the reserve position that was related to his wealth and life, and made up his mind that no matter what the King of Qin said, he would not accept the move today. He would chat with him about the weather, and talk about antiques would be perfunctory.

The King of Qin smiled slightly: "This thing is small, but it can be praised by the Tai Tuo, so Xiao Wang realizes that it is radiant, and it is really different from other things."

Zhao Yuanzhou smiled without saying a word.

The King of Qin also ordered someone to bring a parrot with colorful feathers on its body, claiming that it was a foreign object that could answer the question correctly, or it could make the master smile.

Zhao Yuanzhou saw that the parrot really had colorful and brilliant feathers, and he could not help but raise his eyebrows in amazement when he said compliments such as "My lord is blessed."

Qin Wang laughed and said: "This mynah can also recite poems and do it right. The Taifu may give it a try."

Zhao Yuanzhou originally loved flowers and birds. Although he knew that the king of Qin invited him for ulterior motives, he still felt itchy when he saw such a rare thing.

Unexpectedly, the parrot really spoke out, saying: "If you want to fight against the west wind, you will wear a golden armor all over your body." (Quoted from Zhu Yuanzhang's "Ode to Chrysanthemum")

Zhao Yuanzhou couldn't help being dumbfounded, this means...

Open the sunroof and speak the truth?Is the King of Qin expressing his ambition through the mouth of a parrot?

Zhao Yuanzhou couldn't help turning his eyes to King Qin Qiqian, only to see King Qin, who was only 15 years old, with a slight smile on his lips, sitting upright beside the carved window lattice with flickering lights and shadows. He has a scholarly and literary atmosphere, and his cold facial contours reveal a burst of heroic spirit and awe-inspiring majesty.

King Qi Qian of Qin is the second son of the present sage Qi Ju, who is more than ten years younger than the present crown prince Qi Yuan.The empress who gave birth to Qi Yuan and Qi Qian has passed away, and the emperor has never established a successor. Although there are more than ten princes who were concubines among them, none of them can compete with Qi Yuan and Qi Qian's favor.

However, now Prince Qi Yuan is seriously ill, although the imperial doctor dare not speak out clearly, judging from his frail state of critical illness, it is estimated that it will take three to five months.

Therefore, now we are faced with a problem of re-establishing the crown prince.

The crown prince Qi Yuan is not in good health, but the emperor Qi Ju is growing stronger and stronger. Judging from the situation, the crown prince will not be able to ascend the throne until he dies for a thousand years, so the position of the crown prince's first son—the grandson Qi Pei is a bit awkward.Originally, if the prince did not die young, but died after ascending to the throne, even if Qi Yuan only reigned for one day, Qi Pei could logically succeed his father and become the new crown prince.However, the delicate situation is hard to say now, the emperor's grandfather is still in power, but the prince's father died early, Qi Pei, as the grandson, is not so legitimate.

Because not only the Great Jin Dynasty, the succession of the throne has always been passed from father to son, and son to son, there is no grandfather to grandson.

Moreover, although Emperor Qi Ju loves Prince Qi Yuan and Ai Wu and Wu Di loves grandson Qi Pei, he is absolutely unwilling to pass the throne to Qi Yuan when he is still in power, and he must hand over the imperial power when he is dying.

Therefore, the death of the eldest brother was an excellent opportunity for Qin Wang Qiqian.

If Qi Yuan "died first" before ascending to the throne, the position of crown prince should fall on Qi Qian's head, because although there are more than a dozen older brothers on top, the throne is generally "inherited without succession". Biography ", as the only second son besides the crown prince Qi Yuan, Qi Qian is the best candidate to do his part.

However, Qi Qian has always been a scheming person, and it is his characteristic to plan ahead before it rains; it is his habit to hold everything in the palm of his hand.

From Qi Qian's point of view, although the emperor's father loves him very much, it seems that he is not as good as the grandson Qi Pei; moreover, the emperor is old after all, and he feels sorry for the elder brother and the prince Qi Yuan, so he naturally treats the grandson Qi Pei. With the mentality of compensation, if the emperor's father really violated the ancestral system, it is not impossible to insist on making Qi Pei the emperor's heir.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill this possibility before everything starts.

Therefore, Taifu Zhao Yuanzhou, who had been an official in the Great Jin Dynasty for decades, became the guest of King Qin today.

The king of Qin didn't want Zhao Yuanzhou to do anything else, he just wanted him to say a word that determined the sacred heart at the critical moment: "In ancient times, establishing a prince is the most important thing in the society. I hope that your majesty will respect the ancestral system and make your son a prince."

It's the "son of the eldest son", not the "eldest grandson"!

The King of Qin was very clear about one thing: the emperor must be hesitant to establish the crown prince. He and Qi Pei, no matter who was established as the crown prince, made sense. What you say on the side will be the key to determine the choice of Sacred Heart.

Zhao Yuanzhou is in such a key position, just like the key words of Tang Gaozong Li Ji when he wanted to make Wu Meiniang the posthumous minister: "Why should you ask outsiders about the private affairs of your majesty's family?" As a result, Wu Meiniang, who had been involved in the court battle for several months to no avail, took the coveted post.

Qin Wang Qiqian personally filled the teacup for Grand Tutor Zhao Yuanzhou, and said: "From now on, all the affairs of the court, and even the change of His Majesty's will, will be entrusted to the Grand Tutor. The little king will be grateful for the virtue of the Grand Tutor's advice, and will honor his kindness again. "

Zhao Yuanzhou declined and said: "The minister is old, and he has long wanted to resign and return to his hometown. There are many talents around the prince, why use the old man to say more? Besides, God's will is unpredictable."

The King of Qin stared at Zhao Yuanzhou closely, and said: "Teacher knows that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. To this king, the Taifu is a minister, just like the water of the best, indispensable. Not only the Taifu Fu, I think the descendants of Taifu will also be the shares of the country in the future."

This is a naked temptation, which means that if Zhao Yuanzhou is willing to attach himself to the King of Qin, the benefits will be huge and will affect future generations.

While talking, several people came over carrying a huge brass-locked box, opened it, and found that it was full of dazzling gold beads, and even rare treasures.

The King of Qin smiled and said: "These are just some vulgar and vulgar things outside the body, which are just a sign of intention. If the little king can achieve his wish in the future, the Tai Tuo will be the king of the earth, and the shadow will affect the descendants."

Zhao Yuanzhou pondered for a long time, thinking over and over again, unable to make a decision.

A servant offered a glass of fine wine.

The King of Qin held up the luminous cup containing fine nectar and jade liquid, appreciating it in the light and shadow, and said seemingly inadvertently: "I heard that Taifu has a new great-grandson, and the whole family celebrates together. This king also wishes to congratulate Taifu's descendants on the continuous blessing." He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one sip.

Zhao Yuanzhou was surprised and said: "My lord, you..."

This is not congratulations, but a threat!

If it is congratulations, King Qin should also give Zhao Yuanzhou a glass of wine, and then finish drinking with Zhao Yuanzhou after saying the above remarks.However, King Qin didn't give Zhao Yuanzhou wine, he drank it himself, and even made such a call.In other words, that call should be understood in reverse: if you do not follow me, your descendants will not be able to extend, and your blessings will end here.This is not the wine of congratulations, but rather the poison of mourning.

That is to say, even if Zhao Yuanzhou does not covet the windfall or the future of the descendants promised by the King of Qin, he must be clear about one thing: not helping the King of Qin is tantamount to becoming an enemy of the King of Qin, and the consequences...

Zhao Yuanzhou thought about King Qin's black-bellied personality and unyielding will, and couldn't help but feel terrified: Offending King Qin will lead to death, but not necessarily offending the grandson.Furthermore, in Zhao Yuanzhou's view, the possibility of the king of Qin being established as the heir apparent was slightly higher than that of grandson Qi Pei.That being the case, why not push the boat along?

Zhao Yuanzhou finally said: "I believe that the succession of the grand line by the son is an unspoken rule in the past dynasties. If your majesty goes beyond this level and makes the grandson the heir, it will be a way to bring about chaos."

A satisfied smile appeared on King Qin's lips, he nodded and said, "It's just as the Taifu said."

The King of Qin personally sent Grand Tutor Zhao Yuanzhou out, of course, only to the vicinity of Yimen.

According to the police law of this dynasty, the prince is not allowed to associate with powerful ministers. Zhao Yuanzhou, as a first-rank official and a close minister of the emperor, is a veritable powerful minister. Moreover, he had a secret conversation in such a secret base. If anyone finds out, tell the emperor , as honorable as the king of Qin, he would inevitably be reprimanded and even deprived of the throne.

----------Dividing line------------

Here, Jia Huan was looking around, curious to know what this place was.

Suddenly, a faint sound of "crashing" was heard, followed by a tall and slender man in a dark robe who appeared at the end of the corridor with a group of people behind him, and then turned towards Jia Huan where he was standing. The place is getting closer.

It's the kind of manly handsomeness.

Jia Huan sometimes looks in the mirror and feels that his current appearance is indeed good, but there is a slight sense of a fly in the ointment.Why, it is slightly feminine, and the man's masculinity or domineering is not enough.

Therefore, Jia Huan practiced sharp eyes when no one was around, and practiced the attitude of looking at everything. In short, it was all kinds of awesome expressions and postures that a big boss should have.

As for this person, it is precisely the goal that Jia Huan has worked hard for a long time but cannot achieve, and is Jia Huan's ideal self.

The tall and straight figure is wrapped in a dark purple brocade robe, and the face is as cold and hard as a rock, with the most perfect facial features: slightly sharpened chin, thin lips, straight nose, and flying phoenix eyes that seem to be Hiding the awe-inspiring thousand-year-old snow, even the two sword-shaped eyebrows that entered the temples seemed to be covered with frost, imbued with great coldness and majesty.

He came striding forward, even the corners of his clothes were like the sound of the wind, there were several people behind him, and a large number of guards with swords, one could tell at a glance that this person had an unusually high status, and he was extremely domineering.

He is obviously a black-bellied queen.Don't look at Xiao Gong who is pulling it very much now, but he will be a loyal dog in the future.
