Chapter 940

Half of the day had not passed, the news of the fifth Prince's choosing to accompany him spread all over the country at the fastest speed.

From the royal family to the nobility and even the ministers in the imperial court, it seems that only at this moment did they realize that Zhonggong's son, who had been hiding behind because of his weak health, had already reached the age of choosing a companion. No, it should have been chosen for a long time, but it was delayed because of the weakness of the fifth prince.

The fifth Prince's selection of accompanying reading is like throwing a huge stone, which makes the situation in the court more complicated.

Up to the three mature princes, down to the civil and military officials, can not help but guess.

Even Nangong Qin called his second younger brother Nangong Mu to the outside study after the next Dynasty.

The two brothers sat apart. Nangong Qin sipped his tea and asked, "second brother, what do you think of the fifth Prince's choice of companion?"

Nangong Mu pondered and said: "the fifth Prince is big, so it is natural to choose the companion reading. The key is to see which one is chosen?"

Nangong Qin nodded. Everyone knows that once the emperor chooses the companion, not only the accompanying readers, but also the families who accompany them will tend to this prince, just like the first prince, the second prince and the third prince. Their accompanying readers are now their confidants. Therefore, the selection of the fifth Prince's companion readers will certainly have a certain impact on the situation division in the central court.

Nangong Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "elder brother, do you know which families the queen will choose from?"

Nangong Qin Ningmei replied: "according to the information revealed between the speeches of several ministers in the court, most of them are the government of the state of grace and their in laws."

The two brothers are not surprised at this. According to the empress's maintenance of the fifth prince, she must release the people she can trust.

Nangong Mu thought for a moment and then said, "brother, since the emperor has personally chosen to accompany the fifth prince, is it..." Does the holy heart begin to favor the fifth prince?

Nangong Qin understood the meaning of his younger brother's words, and nodded: "the illegality of the royal family and the common people is the root of the chaos of the family and the country. The emperor should have been clear about the di Shu. Now, the three older princes are all making small moves in private. Obviously, the emperor has seen them. If they are not upright, they will be in trouble in the future. " However, it's hard to say whether the fifth prince can grow up or not. The emperor should be worried about it. Now that the fifth Prince is growing up, the emperor's heart should be fixed.

"Big brother said so." Nangong Mu slightly drooped his eyes and thought, "it's hard for a single five prince to choose to read with him. I'm afraid it's difficult to correct the position of the legitimate son, unless..."

The two brothers came up with the same idea: unless the prince!

While talking, the servant girl who was waiting in the study came in and reported: "the eldest master, the second master, the second young master and the third aunt are coming!"

Why are their brothers and sisters here? Nangong Qin and his brother looked at each other and were stunned. Nangong Qin said, "don't invite the second young master and the third aunt to come in."

After the servant girl retired, nangongxin and Nangong Yue walked into the study one after another. Nangong Xin, 15, was more than half a head taller than her sister. Their looks were five or six points similar. They were both carved in pink and jade, with red lips and white teeth. At first sight, they knew they were brothers and sisters.

Nangong Mu looks at a pair of children, full of pride and satisfaction in his heart.

Nangong Xin and Nangong Yue saluted their great uncle and father, and then sat down.

Nangong Qin asked with a smile: "Xin elder brother's son, Yue son, how did you two suddenly come?"

Nangong Yue gave Nangong Xin a look of encouragement. Nangong Xin looked at Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu and said seriously, "uncle, Dad, I want to be the companion of the fifth prince!"

This time, Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu were really surprised. They just thought that the selection of the fifth Prince's companion had little to do with Nangong mansion, but they didn't expect to have a relationship with Nangong mansion.

Without waiting for the elders to ask questions, the upright Nangong Xin told the story from the beginning to the end.

Nangong Yue has been smiling at his brother. After coming out from the empress, she wanted to find Lin first, but she changed her mind temporarily. Nangong Xin is 15 years old, and she is old enough to get married. If a man wants to start a family and start a career, how can Lin take charge of everything again? Nangong Xin must learn to grow up.

Therefore, nangongyue told Nangong Xin one by one about the empress's intention to order him to accompany the fifth prince Then they came here - this matter is related to Nangong house, which is not for their brothers and sisters to decide at will.

After saying the whole story, Nangong Xin said again, "uncle, Dad, can I be the companion of the fifth prince?"

The two brothers exchanged glances, both of them reflecting.

For today's Nangong family, it is the most appropriate to avoid the turmoil in the imperial court. However, it is the official's duty to be a legitimate son. If there is no legitimate son, then how can we just let the common people publicize themselves?

……

From the moment when it came to the palace that they wanted to accompany the fifth prince, the ministers' eyes were fixed on the Empress Dowager's next move. Three days later, the empress personally selected several candidates to accompany him.

Jiang Ming and Qing Dynasties of the government of ensuo, and Qi politics of the Qi government With Nangong Xin from Nangong mansion, there are six people in total.

After the news came out, the courtiers were all confused. They couldn't understand the criteria for the emperor and empress to select people. How could Nangong Xin, who was from Nangong mansion, was also among the candidates for accompanying study. The fifth prince was only nine years old, and nangongxin was already 15 years old, which was a bit too old!Not only did the courtiers feel strange, but even the whole Nangong mansion was puzzled by the list. They wondered whether nangongyue was seeking love for his brother and wanted nangongxin to get rid of the title of a fool. No one thought nangongxin would really be selected. After all, his age was there, except Nangong Qin and his family.

The candidates will enter the palace, and the Empress Dowager will examine the school in person, and choose two of them to accompany the fifth prince.

Everyone is waiting for the result, and Nangong Yue is no exception.

On the day Nangong Xin entered the palace, he got up early in the morning. Although he knew that someone would report to him in the first time if there was a result, he could not help looking out of the door, and even his account book had not turned a page for a long time.

Baihui came into the small study with tea and said with a smile, "princess, do you want to have a rest?"

"No problem." Nangong Yue put down the account book, cleaned his hands, picked up a rose cake and put it in his mouth.

After all, she could read these books, and it didn't matter if she looked at the rest.

It was only a few years after the death of the South King of the old town. The stewards of these Chuang Tzu began to coax their masters like idiots. In the first two years or so, the accounts they brought up were carefully balanced. The later they got, the more perfunctory and ridiculous they were, the more mistakes they made.

At the thought of this, Nangong Yue was a little annoyed.

They must be punished, but how to punish them is a headache for her.

After all, they were all from the Old Town South King period, if not handled properly, it will be bad for Xiao Yi's reputation.

She has to plan.

If only Xiao Yi were here. There was another person to discuss. But if he told Xiao Yi about it, he would wave his hand at will and say, "withdraw, if you dare to make trouble, you will fight again" Thinking of this, Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing.

Such a smile, the mood is also a lot better, let the servant girls put the account books are collected.

Nangong Yue used tea and had a rest for half an hour. The news from the palace had not yet come.

The work that should be done in the morning had been finished. Nangong Yue didn't want to look at the account book any more, so he casually leaned against the window and made a complex. Seeing her listless look, Lily was laughing and joking about Wang Du's recent anecdotes.

"Princess Shizi, Miss Cui and the hairpin banquet the day before yesterday, sent many posts to the ladies in the capital."

This girl Cui is the future third prince.

Nangong Yue slightly raised eyebrows and guessed casually: "is it that Miss Cui also gave me a post to my cousin?"

"Princess, you are so smart. You can guess it." Lily laughed and praised, and then said, "but on that day the table girl didn't go. Let big girl Cui have no face."

Nangong Yue can't help but be surprised. Cui Yanyan is the future third prince's imperial concubine, and Bai muxiao is just a concubine who is ordered to serve in the government. In front of so many people, she openly lowered Cui Yanyan's face at the hairpin banquet, and was not afraid of the future sad?

However, in the case of Bai muxiao, it is not surprising that he would do so.

Bai muxiao has always looked down on being a concubine. She must refuse to let go of her self-esteem and give Cui Yanyan a face.

The lily said mysteriously After the girls who went to the hairpin feast that day came back, they all spread the word that it was Miss Cui who couldn't even hold down a concubine. "

Nangong Yue chuckles, but Cui Yanyan's wishful thinking is good. She wants to crush Bai muxiao before she enters the third prince's mansion. Unexpectedly, it is Bai muxiao that she meets.

Look at what will happen to these two people in the third prince's mansion.

"What's more, shizifei..."

Lily said very hot, Nangong Yue heard interesting, only half of a tie, magpie came to report: "princess, aunt and uncle are coming."

Big sister is here?

Nangong Yue is a little surprised. It's quite rude to visit Nangong without handing in the invitation in advance. Obviously, Nangong Cheng has something to do.

It's just brother-in-law Xiao Yi is not in the mansion. It is really inconvenient for her to entertain Pei Yuanchen. So she asks Baihe to go to the front yard and asks Zhu Xing to help her. She also welcomes Nangong Cheng in.

"Big sister." Nangong Yue personally went to the front of the Fufeng courtyard to meet her. Nangong Cheng said apologetically, "my third sister, I really want to disturb you all of a sudden."

"You and my sister, what are you doing with that?" Nangong Yue took her into the banquet room of the main room, beckoned her to sit down on the beauty couch and said, "the son of heaven is not in the mansion, so I can only aggrieve my brother-in-law to sit in the outer courtyard for a while."

Nangong Cheng nodded, which is also natural.

The servant girl brought tea and snacks. Nangong Cheng winked at the scholarly and ink fragrance. The two maids retreated wisely. Nangong Yue knew that she had something to say and waved to everyone in the room to quit.

Until there were only two sisters left in the house, Nangong Yue opened the door and asked, "big sister, but what happened to Jian'an Bo Fu?"

Nangong Cheng gave a bitter smile and said, "my two brothers and sisters have miscarriage."Nangong Yue was slightly surprised, and then listened to her say: "today, I was wandering in the garden with my son. I happened to meet the second uncle and the second younger sister. They seem to have made something unpleasant. The second younger sister suddenly ran out from behind the rockery. I couldn't avoid it and ran into her. Later, the second younger sister called for abdominal pain, and soon after calling the doctor, she gave birth

Nangong Cheng said it implicitly, but in fact, she and Pei Yuanchen were chatting about flowers, and they were very happy. Lu Jiaqi, the second daughter-in-law of the Cui family, rushed out from behind the rockery crying. Pei Yuanchen's wheelchair was very heavy. She was too weak to push him out of the way in time. Lu Jiaqi hit her.

It had nothing to do with them, it was just an accident. But after Lu Jiaqi had a miscarriage, the second room went directly to their yard, saying that they were deliberately trying to get Lu Jiaqi's miscarriage.

Nangong Cheng sighed slightly and said, "the house is really too noisy. My mother asked me to take my son out for a walk. I think about it. I can only disturb my third sister. "

Nangong Yue show eyebrow light wrinkle, immediately found the key point: "but what is the second room disrespectful words?" Otherwise, how can a noble son avoid the house.

Nangong Cheng said with a wry smile: "to be honest with my third sister, the second lady came to our yard and scolded the son of heaven and said..." She said, "she said that the sons of the world have been disabled and useless. She still insists on the throne. She can't give birth to children by herself, or let others have children..."

Nangong Cheng is actually a girl brought up by aristocratic families. She can't say such foul language even if it's just a report.

In fact, there is another sentence that Nangong Cheng didn't say, so the second lady of Pei even said that she should have died early. Although Pei Yuanchen is broad-minded, she can't stay in the house and let them abuse them! Therefore, Mrs. jian'anbo asked her to take Pei Yuanchen out of the house and go back when everything was done.

"That's not true." Nangong Yue said angrily, "really when we are no one in Nangong family?! Elder sister, you should go back to your mother's house and let my mother and sister-in-law come forward for you and go to Jian'an Bo's house to have a good life theory with the second lady Pei. How can my Nangong girls be bullied and humiliated by others? "

"Three sisters." Nangong took her hand and said, "so I didn't go back to my mother's house. My mother treated me like a mother. Since she has said it's up to her to handle the matter, it's always inappropriate for me to go back to my mother's house to complain. "

If she went back to Nangong mansion today, Su's or Lin's questions would have to be answered. In order to avoid trouble, she avoided Nangong Yue.

Seeing Nangong Yue frowning with some disapproval, Nangong Cheng said, "don't worry, third sister. I won't let others deceive me. If it's hard for my mother to deal with it properly, I'll go back and tell my aunt. "

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and then thought and asked, "what's the reason for this

"Maybe it's because my second brother was listed as a companion." Nangong Cheng said with a little hesitation, "previously, the second room was persuading several clan elders to agree to change their sons. It is said that some of them have already been attracted by it. However, since the incident of beating the second younger brother came out, they all flatly refused."

After all, Nangong Cheng, the eldest daughter of Nangong family, is Nangong Xin's eldest sister.

"So it is..." Nangong Yue was quite clear. He comforted him and said, "elder sister, don't worry. Just stay here for a while. If you don't trust the son of God, I'll let someone clean up a yard for you in the front yard."

"Don't bother my sister." Nangong Cheng said with a smile, "I..."

While speaking, magpie came in happily and said, "the second uncle of our family has been selected by the Emperor himself as the fifth Prince's companion."

"Great!"

Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue can't help but look at each other and stand up in amazement.

Nangong Yue is more ecstatic, she knew that her brother would never be worse than others!

The fifth Prince's companion was officially confirmed: Jiang Ming and Qing of Jiang family and Nangong Xin of Nangong family. This matter soon spread to the government and the public, and also to Princess yongyang's mansion. When Madame Fu heard the news, she couldn't believe her ears.

"Nangong Xin, the second young master of Nangong mansion has been selected as the companion of the fifth prince?" Madame Fu asked again.

Mother Mo looked at Fu's wife in a complicated way. She couldn't cover Fu Yunyan's joy. She nodded and said, "yes, madam." After a pause, she added, "I heard that the emperor had tested the knowledge and character of six young masters in the imperial study, and ordered the second master of Nangong on the spot."

The requirements of the prince's companion reading are very high. After all, it may be to select the next emperor's close ministers and confidants. Even if the candidate is not the best one, he must be knowledgeable enough and have outstanding personality. Otherwise, even if he passes the emperor's pass for a while, he will have to show his face in Taifu, so it is impossible to fish in troubled waters.

Fu Xin said, "I'm not surprised to see your mother's face on the side."

Madame Fu didn't speak, but she was thoughtful. When she thought of several meetings she had met with Nangong Xin, she did speak in a clear and orderly way. She was not too silly, but sometimes she showed a very naive and childish expression and words Is it just a matter of character? Think of Liu Niang, sometimes she is very childish.If this problem is put aside, Nangong Xin may not be suitable for liuniang

On the one hand, since she has already refused, she should not consider Nangong Xin. On the other hand, she is really worried about Liu Niang's marriage.

After all, because of Princess Qi's deliberate propaganda, many people thought that the Fu family was going to marry Prince Qi's house. Even if they had spread the news to deny it, the damage had already been done.

Once it comes to marriage, some rumors may be nothing to a man, but to his daughter's family, a little wind and grass may damage the reputation. At first, Madame Fu was not in a hurry about Fu Yunyan's marriage. She felt that she could pick her up slowly. But now she was afraid that she would not even have a chance to pick and choose, so she dragged Fu Yunyan into a big girl. It would be too late to repent later!

At the moment, it's not only Madame Fu, but also Han lingfu

When he learned that the emperor chose Nangong Xin as the fifth Prince's companion, Han lingfu immediately left the palace and went to Zhang's house.

As soon as he saw Zhang Mianzhi, Han lingfu said with an ugly face: "uncle, did you hear that my father and Emperor chose Nangong Xin as the companion of the younger brother of the five emperors!"

After Zhang Mianzhi and Zhang Yiyu had a ceremony, the former met him into the study with a dignified look.

After sitting down, Zhang Mianzhi frowned, "Your Highness, this is too bad for us. Nangong Xin is the brother-in-law of Zhennan King's concubine. Originally, she made friends with the empress. Now Nangong Xin has become the companion of the five princes, and the fifth Prince is really more powerful. " His heart was flustered. The more he thought about it, the more he didn't dare to think about going down, "does the emperor really want to let..."

He did not say the rest of his words, but all the people present understood what he meant, and the same thought came to mind:

is the emperor paving the way for the future of the fifth prince?

Han Ling Fu's face is as heavy as water. Recently, he can feel the emperor's indifference to him, which has made him feel a little confused. Now the emperor has made such an arrangement for the younger brother of the five emperors, which makes him feel that there is a lot of crisis. In the long run, he will only be far away from the supreme throne

How can he be reconciled!?

Han lingfu asked slowly, "uncle, what should we do now?"

"Your Highness, according to the minister's opinion, Nangong mansion can be left aside for the time being," Zhang Mianzhi pondered. "Nangong Qin is a man who doesn't want to be involved in the usurpation of the throne Otherwise... " Then he took a meaningful look at Han lingfu.

Han lingfu understood what he meant. Otherwise, Nangong Qin would have married Nangong Cheng to him But Nangong Qin's brain is single minded, and even refuses to agree to adopt Bai muxiao, which makes him and Bai muxiao fall into the present predicament.

Thinking of this, Han lingfu's eyes are as dark as a pool.

"As for Zhennan Wangfu," Zhang Mianzhi said solemnly, "it depends on how the Zhennan Prince's son's trip to southern Xinjiang will be. If Xiao Yi comes back in power, Nangong Yue will tie the knot again. Maybe the queen and Zhennan palace will form an alliance. " Said Zhang Mianzhi long sigh, the face dew complex, "if the Emperor allowed and di one thing is good."

"And now, father, it doesn't help." Zhang Yiyu is Zhang Mianzhi's legitimate eldest son. He said thoughtfully, "since I broke my face with Xiao Yi that day, I should have thought of such a day. The urgent task now is how to make up for it. Since it is no longer feasible to "merge with Di", we still have to think about whether there is any other way. If you let Xiao Yi stand on the side of the fifth prince, it will be quite disadvantageous to my cousin. "

Han lingfu agreed to nod, and an idea flashed in his mind: on that day, he should not believe Xiao'er's words and go to the Bureau. However, the idea flashed away. After all, Xiao'er also wanted to help him. Who knows, Xiao Yi will have a chance to return to southern Xinjiang and take charge of the overall situation!

"Although Xiao Yi is married, Princess Yaoguang is still young. Xiao Yi must be attended by someone." Han lingfu thought, looked at Zhang Mianzhi and asked, "I don't know if my uncle would give up her cousin Ebara?"

Zhang yiebara is Zhang Mianzhi's second daughter. She is both talented and beautiful. She is also famous in Wangdu.

Zhang Mianzhi was stunned, and then realized that Han Ling Fu wanted to give Zhang Yi Ebara to Xiao Yi as his side imperial concubine.

Although she is a side concubine, Princess Yaoguang is still two years away from Jiji. If Zhang yiebara can give birth to her eldest son, Xiao Yi and Zhang Jia, and even the third prince, can be tied together.

Zhang Mianzhi stroked his beard and said, "nature gives up."

Han Ling Fu satisfied with the head: "this matter should also be carefully planned." He pauses and says again Besides, uncle, how was your conversation with Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of labor last time? "

"When you talk about his daughter's marriage, you have to start to talk about it. If you want to get married, you have to start to believe it."

"That's fine." Han Ling Fu has a light look.

Zhang Yiyu is the most promising person in the next generation of zhangjias. It is not worth it to marry Zhao Xinyang.

For example, there are many female generals in the Imperial Palace who wish to be married, such as Fu Jiajun.Thinking of Fu Yunyan, Han lingfu tentatively asked Zhang Mianzhi: "uncle, what do you think of the girl in yongyang Dachang princess's mansion, uncle?"

"Your Highness refers to the six girls of the Fu family?" Zhang Mianzhi's brow raised, "is that Fu Yunyan, who is rumored to be in the process of discussing marriage with the prince of Qi, but later Madame Fu denies it?"

Zhang Yiyu put down his tea cup, narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Princess Qi, in order to get married with Princess yongyang, has been pressed step by step. However, if we come to ask for marriage, we will offend the prince Qi's mansion." He took a look at Han lingfu, "does your highness have a good idea?"

At this juncture, it is natural to offend the Qi palace to ask for Fu Yunyan. However, considering that he can win over yongyang Dachang, Han lingfu thinks that the deal is still very cost-effective.

Han lingfu said with a careless smile: "what's to be afraid of? There are hundreds of women in one family. Fu Yunyan's marriage has not been set yet. It's reasonable for uncle to come to propose marriage However, we can wait a little longer. Now that rumors are spreading, it will inevitably damage Fu Yunyan's reputation. We can wait for Madame Fu to be in a hurry before we can succeed. "

The three looked at each other with a smile of determination.

At this time, the door suddenly sounded the internal servant nervous voice: "Your Highness, I have something important to report!" This servant is a little eunuch who serves the third prince's son on weekdays. He knows that the third prince is discussing important matters with the Zhangjia father and son, but he still comes to disturb him. That must be very important.

Han lingfu and Zhang's father and son looked at each other and said, "little Lizi, come in."

Xiao Lizi came in with a pale face and even shivered slightly. Han lingfu had not seen xiaolizi like this before, so he couldn't help sinking in his heart.

Xiaolizi bowed down respectfully and said in a trembling voice, "the hall Your highness, the second princess, she, she... " He could hardly speak.

"What's wrong with sister Huang?" Han lingfu asked in a hurry.

Xiao Lizi took a deep breath and finally finished her words in a single puff: "the second princess is dead!"

The second princess is dead?!

The news made the three people in the study all buzzing in their ears, almost suspecting that they were dreaming.

Han Lizi is a big liar, but how can he make such a big mistake.

Han lingfu's face turned white and rushed out of Zhang's study. He must return to the palace as soon as possible!

At the same time, Nangong Yue of Zhennan Palace also got the news.

She heard the speech, for a long time did not return to God, the second princess unexpectedly so did not have? Although she had heard the news that the second princess was seriously ill in the imperial mausoleum in fengluan palace a few days ago, both the queen and she thought it was the second princess who was playing some tricks. After all, it was not the first time that the second princess played such a trick. I didn't expect that

Nangong Yue looked dignified and ordered: "Baihui, you tell Zhu Xing to let the people in the palace pay attention to it."

"Yes, princess." After Baihui answered, she stepped back quietly.

Nangong Yue walked back and forth in the small study impatiently. Although people paid attention to her, she still couldn't calm down. She had a vague premonition that something was going to happen

Although the death of the second princess aroused some ripples in some people's hearts, it did not make much noise in the court and the king.

In the early morning of the next day, another thing like a huge stone suddenly fell down, causing a storm.

In the hall of golden Luan, under the attention of all officials, the Minister of rites folded up to the emperor and asked to establish the fifth Prince of the imperial palace as the crown prince.

Once upon a time, some people had made the same compromise to the emperor, but they were refuted by the emperor on the ground that the fifth prince was weak. However, this time, the emperor unexpectedly did not refute it immediately. He only said that the matter of establishing the crown prince was of great importance, and he should consider it carefully.

After that, I heard that the emperor called the fifth Prince several times to speak, to test knowledge, and to praise the fifth prince.

People are still wondering about the holy idea. Suddenly, the Queen's mother's family, the Duke of en, suddenly changed its low-key attitude and sent a post of chrysanthemum feast to some royal families in the capital.

The relationship between nangongyue and the euguo government has always been good. In addition, she is the son and concubine of Zhennan king. Naturally, this post was sent to her.

Nangong Yue is holding a red hot stamping post, thinking about the recent trend of Chaozhong, and his mind is turning.

Because of the early death of the Queen's first son, the first prince was demoted, and the second prince was disabled. The Nangong family gave full support to Han lingfu. Now, the empress has a legitimate son. As far as Nangong family is concerned, she will always stand on the side of the fifth prince. Uncle and dad would agree that my brother should be the companion of the fifth Prince because of this.

Once the fifth Prince is made the crown prince, it will be even more difficult for Han Ling Fu to inherit Datong in the future.

Han lingfu naturally will not give up, it seems that he will soon have some action

I'm afraid there will be another storm in the court!
