After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Jiang Chen listened quietly to his mother talking about his grandfather. He used to like history very much and liked to listen to their heroic stories.

Those powerful generals were out there all year round defending their homeland and fighting the enemy frequently. I don’t know how many soldiers and brothers died.It can be said that he and the other party are sworn enemies.

Especially people like Li Chenglong, whose whole family is still under the emperor's nose. Once they lose a war and are defeated, they would rather kill themselves to preserve their honor than surrender to the enemy and treason, pushing their closest relatives to the guillotine. dangerous situation.

And Grandpa Li Chenglong has been guarding the Western Region for more than 30 years. How could he do such a despicable thing regardless of the lives of his family?

He asked his mother very puzzledly:

"Mom, since grandpa was framed by a traitor, there must be a conflict of interest or other reasons."

Li Susu nodded to her son and said slowly:

"Chen'er, you have been ill for these years and have been confused. You have never cared about these things, and your mother has never told you. You are right, everything has an effect and a cause. Your grandfather has a sister, That is, my aunt. In order to win over the general who was filling in outside, the current emperor brought her into the palace and named her Concubine Shu. The second year after she entered the palace, she gave birth to a son for the current emperor and was named Jin. king.

Two years later, when she became pregnant again and gave birth to her second child, she died without being able to save the child due to dystocia.The emperor was very sad, and even more sad for the motherless child of King Jin. The emperor felt very sorry for this child.And he was the emperor's first son. Although the queen also had children, she gave birth to two daughters and then had no children.The queen knew that the emperor loved his only son, and no one would take care of the child after Concubine Shu died.She discussed with the emperor that she wanted to raise Prince Jin under her knees. The emperor discussed this matter with the ministers, and the ministers agreed that the queen would raise Prince Jin.The matter was settled just like that.If the King of Jin raised the child in the Queen's palace, then the child would be the Queen's child, and he would be legitimately established as the prince.Shortly after Concubine Shu's death, the emperor adopted General Hu Gao's daughter as Concubine Li. This Concubine Li was young and beautiful, and was loved by the current emperor.Soon after, he also gave birth to a son for the emperor and was named King of Wei.After that, Concubine Li received the emperor's overwhelming favor.Not only was she named Concubine Li by the emperor, but her father Hu Gao was also promoted to the current prime minister.For a time, the power of the imperial court fell away, and the power of the Hu family was overwhelming. The son she gave birth to was naturally the son of the mother, so how could she be satisfied with being the king of Wei? "

When Li Susu said this, she kept coughing, and Jiang Chen gently patted her back.Ah Fu quickly took a bowl of water and handed it to Li Susu. She took a sip and calmed down her breath, only to hear Jiang Chen say:

"Then, do Concubine Li and her daughter want the emperor to depose King Jin as crown prince and replace him with King Wei."

Li Susu nodded to her son and said:

"You are right, she is taking advantage of the favor of the current emperor, and wants him to depose the prince, and then make King Wei the prince. She knows that the prince's biggest supporter is your grandfather. If you knock down your grandfather, then the prince will There is no longer a backer they can rely on. They can look for opportunities to depose the prince."

After listening to his mother's words, Jiang Chen realized that his grandfather's matter was quite complicated.The struggle for the throne has been bloody since ancient times.

The blood relationship between father, son and brother is insignificant in the face of power.

The most famous one is the Xuanwumen Incident of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, in which brothers killed each other in order to compete for the throne.

Then in the late years of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the nine sons fought for the right to inherit the throne, and the brothers fought fiercely.These bloody incidents all reminded him.As long as there are people involved in this dispute, almost no one can escape unscathed.

Those who stand in the wrong team will either have their entire family killed, or their future will be ruined.I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing just after traveling to this dynasty.

I am young and have been stupid these years, so naturally I don't care about these things.

But the name of Prime Minister Hu Gao was very impressive to him.Because he was often bullied by his fat son Hu Peng when he was young.

Therefore, when he mentioned Prime Minister Hu Gaolai, he felt a shadow of resentment in his heart.

The image of being bullied immediately appeared in his mind.

He doesn't want to think too much about these things now. What needs to be considered most at the moment is how to change the current situation of a family of four in the future.

Both his and his mother's titles were gone, and they would never be able to return to the Hou Mansion. Although I sympathized with the situation at my grandfather's family, as a time-traveler who had just arrived in this dynasty, he had intentions but was powerless.

His current original body is only 16 years old, and his top priority now is what he can do.

Li Susu saw him lost in thought. She didn't want to worry about her son who had just recovered from illness, so she said to him heartbrokenly:

"Chen'er, Mom is telling you these things just to let you understand our current situation. It's not that I want you to do anything. You are only a child, and you have just recovered from the illness. If you can wake up and become a normal person, Mom Just be content and let everything else go as it comes, this is not something we can reverse."

Jiang Chen thought, what his mother said was right, she would be satisfied if she could return to a normal person.Does she still expect that she can avenge her mother's family and summon snow? She is afraid that she really doesn't have this ability.

Li Susu looked at him for a long time without speaking, fearing that he would suddenly return to his old stupid self.He tentatively waved his hand back and forth in front of him and said:

"Chen'er, why don't you speak again? What are you thinking about? Our mother and I have not had normal communication for so many years. Today, mother heard you say so many things to me. You don't know how much I have. Are you happy? This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. God took pity on us and gave me a healthy son. I am very contented now."

Jiang Chen looked at his mother and squeezed his cold hand, intending to tell her that he understood her heart.

Li Susu was really afraid that Jiang Chen would be silent. She was afraid that in the blink of an eye she would be like a dream and her son would return to the previous situation, so she kept telling him:

"Chen'er, now that you have recovered your health, have you ever thought about what you should do in the future?"

Jiang Chen shook his head blankly. He had experienced so many things on the first day he came here.He didn't have a deeper understanding of this dynasty, so he said matter-of-factly:

"Mom, I'm just sick, and I still don't understand some things. Please let me think about it again."

Li Susu seemed to have remembered something. She patted her son's hand and said:

"Chen'er, when you were young, the old Marquis made a marriage for you. She is Liu Yuyan, the granddaughter of the Protector Liu Shangyun. You have been young these years, and your grandfather and father are not in the capital. . So we had less contact. Later, you fell ill again, and we never mentioned this marriage again. Now that your illness is better, although you are no longer the heir apparent of the Hou Mansion, you don’t care whether you are here or not. There, you are still the son of the Marquis of Dingyuan. I want to find a way out for you for your future future, so I will write a letter to the Protector to find out what he says about this matter."
