The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

In other words, people from all walks of life gathered around the supreme dragon chair with their own agendas, forming cliques one after another, trying to do everything they could.

But the culprit who caused all this looked at them busy and showed a mocking smile.

Who is the culprit?Zhuangye, the king of Chengke County, is also.

Wasn't the reason why the princes quietly tore off the mask of brotherhood and brotherhood for decades because Zhuang Ye was beaten and lost his military power, so they saw hope?

Speaking of it, although the name of the prince Zhuang Yang was determined early, and he is in fact the right way, but all the brothers below are capable, and they have been pressing hard for decades, and Zhuang Yang will not always be full of self-confidence. Arrogant.The so-called prince seems to have everything on the surface, but in fact he really owns very few things that belong to him.He occupies the right path, but the courtiers and forces he can come into contact with are all given to him by Emperor Xuankang. Rather than saying that they are loyal to him, it is better to say that they are loyal to the identity of the prince. If Zhuang Yang loses the status of the prince Identity, these so-called his powers, will immediately disappear like a mirror image, and most of them will disappear.And because of his status as a prince, he can't form a party or seize power. He can only take what is given to him by Emperor Xuankang.

Compared with other princes who built mansions outside the palace and were able to establish their own power and industry in private, Zhuang Yang, who was the prince, was actually very aggrieved to be under Emperor Xuankang's nose.

Therefore, Zhuang Ye, who controlled almost half of the military power in the Dajing Dynasty, was undoubtedly Zhuang Yang's biggest backing.Zhuang Yang is still able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. It has to be said that Zhuang Ye has contributed a lot.

But now, Zhuang Ye lost his military power, and was ordered by Emperor Xuankang to reflect behind closed doors, and even Zhuang Yang was reprimanded several times by Emperor Xuankang.Now that Emperor Xuankang's body is becoming more and more useless, if the princes don't seize this may be their last chance to plot something, are they still waiting for the crown prince to successfully ascend the throne before plotting a rebellion?

Most people think that after such a thing happened, Zhuang Yang, who was implicated, should be very dissatisfied with Zhuang Ye, and gradually, the words that provoke him and Zhuang Ye in front of Zhuang Yang became more and more direct.

The concubine of the crown prince, Jiang Shi, looked at Zhuang Yang who was scolded by Emperor Xuankang again and was in a bad mood, so she showed concern and advised Zhuang Yang, "His Royal Highness, do you want to ask the eleventh brother to explain to the emperor?" The matter of the Seventh Princess has nothing to do with you, Your Highness. The emperor cast his anger on you against the Eleventh Brother, and all his concubines felt wronged for your Highness. Speaking of which, the Eleventh Brother can achieve what he is today because of Your Highness’s support Yes, but just when His Highness needed him, he just... ruined His Highness's years of management, it's really...too ignorant."

Concubine Jiang looked at Zhuang Yang's face while talking.

Zhuang Yang looked at Concubine Jiang, feeling a little lost for a moment.He thought he finally understood how his eldest son Zhuang Wei grew up to be so arrogant and ignorant.Concubine Jiang was the first woman to follow him, and also Zhuang Wei's biological mother.Although Zhuang Wei was not the eldest son, at that time the concubine of the crown prince was a little princess, and the prince who was eager to have a prince to consolidate his position as the crown prince also valued Zhuang Wei very much. Take a high look, for the sake of their mother and son, it hurt the heart of the crown princess.As a result, to this day, he spoiled these two unknown things?

If it wasn't for that idiot Zhuang Wei being flattered so much that people would call him the grandson of the emperor in private, why would he and Zhuang Ye retreat to such a point?Emperor Xuankang is not in good health now, and his mind is the most sensitive. Once he thinks that he can't wait to become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and even the future crown prince has been decided, Zhuang Yang can't imagine whether the relationship between father and son for many years will come to an end. funeral.

Zhuang Yang didn't reply to Concubine Jiang's words, but only left a sentence: "Eleventh brother is not something you can call. You should not run around these days, stay in your palace well, and learn the rules again."

He hasn't ascended to the throne yet, but his own palace is fighting for it first.Concubine Jiang thought he didn't know what she was thinking?Isn't it just because the princess is seriously ill, thinking that she is gone, and after Zhuang Yang ascends the throne, can he fight for the queen's position?She spared no effort to provoke the relationship between him and Zhuang Ye, and hoped that after he ascended the throne, he would stop using Zhuang Ye and give military power to her natal Jiang family, so as to pave the way for Zhuang Wei?Hey, don't you want to see if the Jiang family can pull out a leading figure?I don't have that ability, but I still have a big heart.Haven't you ever thought about it, but the premise of all this is that he can sit on the dragon chair safe and sound, but their actions will only push him to the forefront!If he is not destined for the throne, based on his status as the crown prince, he will definitely not be able to survive, even his children, I am afraid they will not die well.

After Zhuang Yang left Concubine Jiang, he went into the main hall to meet the princess.Everyone said that the crown prince is affectionate and has a deep affection for the crown princess and his wife. Now that the crown prince is seriously ill, the prince is always by his side whenever he is free.

The crown prince was still asleep, her face was as white as paper, and she was very thin. Compared to the delicately made-up and smug Concubine Jiang, she was really not good-looking.

But Zhuang Yang was still looking at the princess's face in a daze, as long as he thought of what Qiu Qingyu said, his heart would hurt like a knife.

Qiu Qingyu is the concubine of Chengke County. She studied under a master in the world, and her medical skills are much higher than that of the imperial doctor.She said that the Crown Princess' lifespan was over, and there was nothing she could do.

The princess seldom wakes up now, most of the time she is asleep, and no one can tell when she really won't wake up.

Zhuang Yang took the hand of the Crown Princess, and gently brought it to his lips to kiss, and then spoke softly to the Crown Princess, without any subject, rambling and messy.There was an inexplicable sadness in that scene, which made people feel sad.Zhuang Yang talked for a while, but the princess fell asleep and didn't respond at all.

Zhuang Yang was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I promise you everything you told me last time, and I will leave Yan'er to the eleventh brother to teach. Hehe, you would rather trust the eleventh brother than me as a father I will protect my son because I really hurt you at the beginning, right? I have always envied the unswerving relationship between the eleventh brother and his younger siblings. In fact, I also had the opportunity to have it. Right? It was I who pushed you away, and when I found out, there was no chance to save you. "

Zhuang Yang was sad for the princess, and Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu were also sad.

Qiu Qingyu and the Crown Princess have always had a very good relationship. The Crown Princess could almost be said to have watched her grow up, and Qiu Qingyu also watched the Crown Princess from being bright to heartbroken all the way.

Therefore, even though she made such a diagnosis, she still had a glimmer of hope. If she could find the wandering master back, maybe it could give the princess a chance.

Speaking of Qiu Qingyu's master, one has to mention Zhuang Ye's childhood.

When Zhuang Ye was just born, he was really weak. Although the imperial doctors didn't say it clearly, they all implicitly expressed the same meaning: this prince might not be able to support him.

But Zhuang Ye is a man with a lot of fate.

That year, Qiu Jun, the second son of Jingtian Hou Qiu, let go of his foreign term and returned, bringing back a strange man with white hair and childlike face. Although this person looked weird, he was a master of medicine, and he cured Qiu Ji's eldest grandson Qiu lightly and skillfully. Benign congenital deficiency.Qiu Liang was the eldest son of Qiu Ji's eldest son, Qiu Yu. He was five years old at the time, but he looked as old as Qiu Jun's eldest daughter, Qiu Qingyu, who was only three years old at the time.

Because of this, the Hua family of the queen's natal family heard about it and recommended it to the queen.

With the last ray of hope, the queen recruited the strange man surnamed Bai into the palace to treat Zhuang Ye's illness. As a result, Zhuang Ye was really rejuvenated. Not only did Zhuang Ye survive, but he also became stronger and stronger, just like a calf.This made Emperor Xuankang and the Queen very happy.

Of course, what was said to the outside world did not mention that Mr. Bai treated Zhuang Ye's illness, but used Qiu Qingyu to give Zhuang Ye a piece of ink jade as an excuse. Firstly, it was Mr. Bai's own request, and he did not want to attract more trouble. People trouble themselves, and secondly, Emperor Xuankang doesn't want too many people to notice Mr. Bai.

Emperor Xuankang really wanted to keep Mr. Bai, but this Mr. Bai is an outsider who doesn't want any fame and wealth, and Emperor Xuankang can't do anything with him. He dare not use coercive means to force such a different person to stay .Later, it was the queen who saw that Mr. Bai seemed to like Qiu Qingyu very much, and took her with her every time he went in and out of the palace, as if teaching her medical skills, so she mentioned it to Emperor Xuankang. At that time, she pointed it out to Zhuang Ye, who was one year younger than her, as his concubine.

It can be said that Mr. Bai is not only Zhuang Ye's savior, but also Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu's matchmaker.

Not only that, when Zhuang Ye was 19 years old, he was besieged by the Xirong people in the Yunjian Mountains. If Mr. Bai hadn't used his supernatural powers to find him with Qiu Qingyu, and used a trick to lead them out of the encirclement, the world would have been surrounded by people for a long time. There is no such person as Zhuang Ye.Therefore, although the husband and wife felt that Mr. Bai was either a fairy or a demon, in short, he could not be a mortal, but they rotted this secret in their stomachs, and no one said it.

Mr. Bai left Beijing to travel, and Qiu Qingyu knew the reason.Because Mr. Bai once said that he fell into this time and space by mistake, but if he wanted to leave, he had to extract a spiritual root belonging to the immortal here as the key to open the door.Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu didn't understand, but they felt that since they wanted to find a fairy, they had to go to heaven and enter the earth. They were worried that what would happen if Mr. Bai couldn't beat the fairy here and was wiped out by the fairy ?

However, before Mr. Bai left, he left Qiu Qingyu something like a fang, saying that if the thing cracked, it would mean that he had left this time and space.And so far, this fang hasn't even cracked the slightest bit.

Qiu Qingyu tentatively sent a letter to Mr. Bai with the kingfisher that Mr. Bai left her. This kingfisher was rescued and domesticated by Mr. Bai, and it is very psychic.It is small and fast, and the most important thing is that no one thinks that it is serving as a pigeon, and no one intercepts it.When Zhuang Ye went to the battlefield, Qiu Qingyu used it to communicate with him.Now Qiu Qingyu only hoped that Xiaocui could still remember Mr. Bai's aura and find him accurately.

As expected, Xiaocui did not disappoint Qiu Qingyu, and found Mr. Bai, a strange man with white hair and childlike face, in Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi's mansion.

At that time, Mr. Bai was standing in front of a lame Taoist and a monk with a skinny head.

Xiaocui flew from the window to Mr. Bai's side, flew around him a few times, and then landed steadily on top of his head, then tilted her head to look at the lame Taoist and the scorpion-headed monk, and opened her mouth as if to He was laughing, and lightly pecked at the top of Mr. Bai's hair, as if to say: Why do these two people look weirder than you?

The lame Taoist and the monk with the scarlet head are both people who have attained the Tao, so it is natural to see that the kingfisher is a real psychic bird. He was a little jealous of the dragon power that naturally emanated from Mr. Bai, but now he is even more suspicious.
