There was a banquet in the Grand Palace on the second day, no matter how unhappy Situ Rui was, he couldn’t be absent. It was just because he couldn’t celebrate the New Year with Lin Hai and Daiyu. The riches and splendor of flowers, the hypocritical father's kindness and son's filial piety.If he didn't know the truth, he really couldn't believe that his brother hated his father.

In the middle of the banquet, Prince Mingyi brought his grandson Situ Ming to toast the Emperor. The Emperor had always been close to him, so he naturally stayed and said a few words. I asked my own grandson to be the son of the son, how can the succession be passed on to the descendants, but this Prince Mingyi is also helpless, he only had one son and died young, leaving only one posthumous son but Situ Ming, Naturally, the throne was passed on to him, but the succession of the title was not so simple, the emperor had to make a decree.At that time, Situ Ming's father had the title of son, but when he came to Situ Ming, he didn't know whether the royal family had forgotten or hadn't issued an order. Therefore, taking advantage of today's festive day, Prince Mingyi had to ask for grace for his grandson .

Hearing the words, the emperor only smiled lightly and said: "This is indeed what you should. You only have one memory, and if you don't give it to anyone, it's up to the emperor!" After speaking, he looked at the emperor's position.

The emperor looked at Situ Ming with a smile and said: "He is indeed a good boy. Speaking of which, Ming'er and Yu'er are about the same age. In a blink of an eye, the children are all grown up. Take this opportunity to give Minger and the others their titles." Come down, Father, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Mingyi was fine. Situ Ming's face did change slightly, but he quickly remembered what this place was and he was busy learning from his grandfather.

The smile on the emperor's face faded, "Naturally, the emperor made up his mind on this matter, but it's never been such a simple matter for our royal family to become a king. It involves the country, the country, and the emperor should be more stable."

The emperor responded with a smile, covered his mouth and didn't mention it anymore, only raised the cup in his hand to congratulate the emperor on his longevity.Although things seem to have passed without any waves, wise people know that a storm is approaching.The voices of the emperor and the emperor were not too loud, but they did not cover them up. Those who sat close to him heard these words, and Situ Rui's heart was naturally overwhelmed. What is the emperor's brother doing?

What the emperor wants to do, you don't have to wait until the next day, you will know everything you need to know on New Year's Eve. The emperor intends to establish a prince, and the atmosphere in Beijing suddenly becomes tense.

Although many news cannot be communicated in time because of not going to court, but there are visits to relatives and friends, right?The honorable ministers in the court quickly took action, and those wives also led the tasks sent by their husbands to start their inner house exchanges.

Soon a strong candidate for the reserve position came out. Unsurprisingly, Situ Yu was ignored by others. Situ Rui sneered with the latest information, a bunch of idiots.

It can't be said that these people are really stupid, but the emperor's protection of Situ Yu played a role.Although Situ Yu has the title of eldest son, but he comes from a humble background, has no mother's family, and has not yet married a wife, even without a wife's family. What's more, most people think that the emperor will not love this prince. The most obvious proof is that he was expelled from Beijing by the emperor before he was a teenager, and he was able to return to Beijing this year.Obviously, he is without grace, so not many people would choose him.

In the eyes of everyone, the strong candidates are the second prince Situ Yu and the sixth prince Situ Jin. The second prince Situ Yu is second only to the first prince Situ Jin in birth, and his birth mother is Xiao Guifei, one of the two noble concubines. Except for Jia Yuanchun, the virtuous concubine who had just occupied two titles, there has always been only one concubine, one concubine and two concubines in the harem. As the only son of a concubine in the harem, his status can be imagined. The power of the mother clan is not weak. Concubine Xiao is the daughter of the former chief assistant of the cabinet. Although her father has retired, she has a lot of old disciples, and his eldest son, Concubine Xiao's elder brother is still serving as the Minister of the Household Department. Said the power is not small.If there were no accidents, he should be in the cabinet this year.

This year there is a lack of people in the cabinet. At the beginning of the year, an elder in the cabinet retired from his hometown. Everyone thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs would be replaced in the cabinet, but they didn't want to have an incident in the south of the Yangtze River. When the matter subsided, the emperor directly put Lin Hai into the cabinet. If Lin Hai is close, the cabinet may oppose it together and may change it. The current chief assistant of the cabinet is his senior brother. I must be talented, qualified and qualified.The Xiao family could only endure it.But it is human nature to never wait to see Lin Hai.

But at this moment, Xiao Shangshu can't care about this much. What is the position of a cabinet minister? If his nephew becomes the crown prince, it will really be the glory of their Xiao family. The Xiao family is also a family of poetry and ceremony, but now At this point, it is impossible for them not to fight. Perhaps when their daughter married the prince, many things were already doomed, and the Xiao family could only move forward.

Xiao Shangshu worked hard to plan and plan for his nephew, and even bowed his head to Lin Hai, whom he didn't like to see before, so he naturally didn't forget to beware of his own opponents. In his eyes, the only opponent is Situ Jin who occupies the position of the first prince.

It stands to reason that Situ Jin's situation would not allow him to have such a reputation in the reserve position. The key is that his queen mother plays a role in it. No matter what the emperor's plan is, the queen has to fight no matter what, so she has already begged The emperor hid this matter in the name of not wanting Situ Jin to be underestimated by outsiders and damage to the royal reputation, so people outside the palace only knew that Situ Jin was not in good health, and even inside the palace, the empress managed to hide it. good.

When the emperor heard the queen's request that day, he didn't show any expression but just gave her a cold look and said, "As long as she doesn't regret it." Will the queen regret it?In that position, she also has no way out.

However, unlike the Xiao family who focused their attention on themselves, the empress, who knew the emperor somewhat, really had Situ Yu as her confidant.

She is the emperor's original match, his concubine, and accompanied the emperor all the way from the East Palace. When she first married the Emperor, she was still a bright girl, and she was married into the East Palace by him from Chengde Gate with infinite longing. It's a pity that the reality quickly erased her innocence. Her husband, the gentle prince, hides a person in his heart. He is only indifferent to her. Although it is not obvious, it is enough to wake up a girl. I can't wait for her to be sad. Her husband It is the prince, and soon the side concubines entered the East Palace. She must not lose her status if she does not get the favor of her husband, and lose the last trace of softness. She has successfully changed from a well-loved girl to a qualified princess. Today's mother.

But she kept thinking in her heart who was the person buried in the bottom of her heart by the emperor?Until the appearance of the palace lady, the pregnant palace lady, in her womb was the precious heir that the East Palace had been lacking, but when she saw that person's appearance, she couldn't help but feel cold, because she knew that girl, didn't she What little maid, she was the daughter of the Tong'an Hou Mansion, she had seen her when she was still young before entering the palace.Just when she thought she had glimpsed the secret in her husband's heart, the girl died. She died during childbirth, and most of the power she had worked so hard for was destroyed. The mocking tone told her that if the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace was a smart person, she would not pretend to be smart.

That night she really knew that she was nothing, so she tried her best to give birth to the prince. She wanted to make her son the one who held power. It was probably a punishment. The emperor would not touch her or let her She was pregnant, and seeing the birth of Donggong's children one by one, she was about to go crazy.

Finally, before she went crazy, the emperor probably felt that it was almost done, or maybe it was to balance the power of the harem, she was finally pregnant, but before she could be happy, the nightmare came again, her prince was a fool, he was in poor health, the imperial doctor said A fool who won't live to be twenty, her tears are about to run dry, she is not reconciled, really not reconciled.

The empress was full of hatred in her heart, but she became much smarter after the failure. She carefully hid those thoughts, treated Situ Yu with kindness, helped the emperor stabilize the situation in the harem, and kept power in her hands. For a long time she was in no hurry.
