Chapter 324 The Emperor Uses the Art of Balance to the Extreme
The maternal families of the Eighth and Ninth Princes were both extremely prominent, but the maternal family of Prince Li was poor and of humble origin.
Although the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince had fought with each other in the past, they maintained an inexplicable balance between them.
But now, Prince Li, a man of humble origin, has surpassed them, and the two are naturally unwilling to accept this.
Prince Li was bullied by these two people, but he was not angry. He gently moved the Buddhist beads in his hand and said with a smile:
"My two younger brothers are still young. Little do they know that since ancient times, heroes have always been distinguished by their origins. For example, our father was just a minor official in the army, but he overthrew the previous dynasty and founded Dayong."
Prince Li paused and said with admiration:
"Although my birth is not as good as my two younger brothers, I am also the blood of my father, so it is natural for me to inherit my father's legacy."
The Eighth Prince glared at Prince Li fiercely. He was too lazy to flatter Prince Li any longer, so he snorted coldly and walked away.
When the Ninth Prince saw the Eighth Prince leave, he did not rush to chase him. Instead, he glanced at Prince Li, then laughed, bowed to the Ninth Prince, and said:
"Fourth brother is older and has done this job so well. Father is pleased and it is only natural that he should be crowned king. However, this title is somewhat special."
"Li, to understand etiquette and propriety. I think this is Father's high praise for Fourth Brother. He wants Fourth Brother to know etiquette and be willing to serve the future Crown Prince. Sure enough, Father really values Fourth Brother."
The Ninth Prince's words really made Prince Li's face suddenly look a little uglier.
Yes!
He was just so happy that he was confused!
Although he was the first to be crowned king, this title was extremely ordinary...
It can be seen that although Emperor Jingren was happy, he still had a scale in his heart and did not lose his balance.
When the Ninth Prince saw the unpredictable change in Prince Li's expression, he knew that the other party had heard what he said. He immediately curled his lips, said goodbye and left.
There is one thing that the Ninth Prince did not say. In fact, no matter what the title is, it is still a fact that the Fourth Prince was the first to be crowned king. Even if the title is not good, it is still of sufficient weight.
It was just that the Ninth Prince was not happy to see the Fourth Prince looking so smug, so he tried to provoke him on purpose.
Huo Zhanting, who was falling behind, naturally saw this scene.
"master……"
"Go back."
Shen Qinglan was also a little surprised when he learned what happened in the court today.
Although she knew that Emperor Jingren would reward the Fourth Prince, she did not expect that he would directly make him a king.
But it’s not hard to understand…
"It can be said that our Majesty has truly used the emperor's art of balance to the extreme." Shen Qinglan said with a smile.
You know, there are only three adult princes now: the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.
And these three people have been making small moves these days, how could Emperor Jingren not know about it?
But Emperor Jingren was in his prime, so how could he allow these princes to covet his position so early?
No matter whether it is the eighth prince or the ninth prince, their mother's families are extremely noble and with strong backing, their power in the court is at its peak.
However, the Fourth Prince had no support from his mother's family or his wife's family, so he was naturally weaker. As a result, the balance among the three was naturally tilted.
Since Emperor Jingren did not want to select a crown prince so quickly, he had to allow the three to balance each other and continue fighting.
Therefore, this time, the Fourth Prince was highly praised for his successful disaster relief and was even named King of Li.
In this way, the three parties continued to reach a balance, and Emperor Jingren's throne naturally became more stable.
Huo Zhanting listened to Shen Qinglan's analysis and could not help but nodded. Then he looked at Shen Qinglan with a gentle smile in his eyes and said:
"That's true. Emperor Jingren has always been like this..."
In the eyes of Emperor Jingren, anyone who would threaten his throne would be ruthlessly eliminated or weakened.
In front is the Nangong Mansion, and behind is the Zhanwang Mansion. No one knows who will be there in the future.
But now, Emperor Jingren has also used this method on his own son.
Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting shook his head and sighed subconsciously:
"It is said that the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men, but the blood stained on the throne must be even greater."
"If for the sake of that position, father and son become no longer father and son, and brothers become no longer brothers, then why bother?"
But fortunately... he was lucky to have a wife like Shen Qinglan.
Huo Zhanting's words were exactly what Shen Qinglan thought.
There is nothing better than a family being together peacefully.
In her previous life, she only knew to pull Li Youyun up, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one behind her, which was quite lonely.
In this life, Prince Zhan's Mansion gave her a different experience.
The mother-in-law who dotes on her, the filial children and... the man in front of her who respects and indulges her.
On the outskirts of Beijing, there is a remote farmyard.
The Fourth Prince's wife, Fang Rou, had at this moment taken off her gorgeous hairpins and silks and changed into an ordinary cloth dress.
Her hair was tied up and wrapped in a headscarf of the same color as her clothes. She was sitting in the yard, making small clothes with a kind smile on her face.
At this time, a woman passed by the yard, poked her head in to take a look, and shouted to Fang Rou:
"Daughter-in-law of the Feng family, if you are not feeling well, please tell me! Your husband specifically asked us to help take care of you before he left."
Fang Rou looked up and responded with a smile, "I see, Aunt Li. If I feel unwell, I will definitely trouble you."
Aunt Li looked at Fang Rou's smile and thought she was as beautiful as a fairy. Moreover, her delicate skin and tender flesh made her very different from those farmers like them.
I heard that he came to their village because his family fell into poverty. He really feels sorry for him.
Fortunately, Fang Rou's husband is a good man. Although he looks a little older, he is considerate.
"Okay, there's no rush to make the clothes. It's only been about three months. It's still early. Don't damage your eyes."
"it is good."
Aunt Li felt her heart melt when she heard Fang Rou's gentle and sweet voice, and she understood immediately.
No wonder the husband gave her such instructions before leaving. Who could leave such a beautiful wife at ease?
Aunt Li was about to leave with a smile, but suddenly saw a group of people walking towards the door.
Immediately, Aunt Li took back what she had just said in her heart!
She originally said that this Fang was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, but compared to the one walking in front of her, she was still a far cry!
The woman in the lead was extremely beautiful, with a cold temperament. It was obvious that she was born into a well-educated noble family!
In her hand she held a palace fan with an ivory handle and was wearing a moon-blue robe with peach blossom patterns. As she walked gracefully, she gave people the feeling that every step she took was like a painting.
Aunt Li was startled when she saw the other party coming towards her. She asked cautiously:
"Who are you looking for?"
Shuyu frowned, thinking that this woman was a little impolite. Just as she was about to say something, Shen Qinglan stopped her and smiled gently at Aunt Li:
"We are here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? In a small place like ours, how can there be someone that a noble like you is looking for?"
Aunt Li said subconsciously.
In this remote countryside, how could there be anyone worthy of this fairy-like person in front of them?
Although Shen Qinglan heard Aunt Li's words were impolite, she was not angry. She just pointed to the yard behind her and said:
"The person I'm looking for is right over there, could you please make way?"
