Chapter 521

“The greatest strength of my grandson is that he has nothing!” Lu Hehao fixed his mind and said aloud, “In the country and in his private life, it’s all the same!”

“In the country, the grandson neither occupies the head nor the first, the mother’s family has been destroyed at the hands of His Majesty, and the wife’s family is thinning outand the grandson’s hairy wife and youngest son are all gone at this moment!”

“So if the one who ascends to the throne is the grandson, even if it’s not for the sake of the heart, for the sake of the fact that he won’t turn his head and be deposed by the former harem finding excuses to do so, or even die directly for no reason, he must follow the example of the late emperor, and strive for excellence in governance and revitalization of the royal family, and achieve the name of the bright ruler!”

“After all, this is the only capital that can guarantee that the grandson, can sit firmly on the imperial throne!”

“In private, Sun’er had not dared to openly make friends with ministers before in order to hide his purposeand how many ministers looked at Sun’er at that time?”

“That’s why the only one under my grandson’s command who can be called his beloved is Yuan Xue Pei, who can barely be considered!”

“But Yuan Xue Pei’s knee bones are all broken, it is not good to join the civil service at all, and he and Ah Xu have been friends since childhood, please ask the Royal Grandmother to think about it, in the future, if my grandson doesn’t emphasize on Ah Xu, who will he emphasize on?”

“Of course Imperial Grandmother must also be worried about A Xu about the bird running out of bows, but Imperial Grandmother must not forget that Cousin Qiu’s years have not yet reached the point of true senility either!”

“Cousin Qiu has always been at odds with A Xu.”

“With these two, it’s just right to be a check and balance in the temple hall since it’s a check and balance, of course Sun’er won’t easily favor any side, and even more so, he won’t easily give up any side!”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager faintly said, ”The reason why Qiu Shuxia used to make things difficult for A Xu, but A Xu couldn’t do anything about it, was mainly because the late Emperor was mindful of his brotherhood and gave him face as his cousin! And he had the Su family behind him at the time. But now, your wife and son died in the hands of the Wei and Su families. If you ascend the throne, how will you let those two families go in public and private interests? So Qiu Shuxia is just fighting alone, A Xu has Yuan Xue Pei’s assistance, and behind you there is the master who brought you into the palace this time to set me up what can Qiu Shuxia do to fight with A Xu?”

She laughed out coldly, “Do you think I am a three year old child and you can just coax it?!”

“Old Lady Duanmu is very old.” Lu Hehao was not flustered at his words and calmly said, “This time, in order to send her grandson to the palace, the old madam has already poured out all of Jinxiu Hall!”

“And over the years, the reason why the old madam was able to make both the late emperor and imperial grandmother you throw in the towel is simply because, in addition to the Fairview Hall, the old madam was also very close to Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu!”

“What Imperial Grandmother is worried about is that even if Ah Xiu can no longer obtain the legacy of the Fairview Hall, with the support of these two families, he will inevitably gain in prestige, thus making Sun’er uneasy?”

Lu Hehao said here is a smile, meaningful, “But the royal grandmother please think: grandchildren hair wife and young son are not alive if grandchildren ascended the throne, this harem can not be no master!”

“Sun’s son remembers that Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu, this could both have unmarried daughters in the Imperial Capital!”

“The reason why the Shen and Liu families were introduced by Elder Lady Duanmu to be on good terms with Ah Xiu was, in the end, for a chance to advance!”

“But in the end, Ah Xiu’s name isn’t Shen or Liu, or even Duanmu!”

“If they can contact their grandchildren directly through their own families, why wouldn’t they?”

Lu Hehao looked at the cold looking Empress Dowager and continued, “At that time, these two families will be used directly for Sun’s son, and A Xu’s power will naturally not be overly large in this case, why would Sun’s son have to be afraid of A Xu?”

“This is exactly the reason why I can’t trust you!” The Empress Dowager laughed coldly, “You linked your wife, your own firstborn son, you said you don’t want it, so your heart is so cold and thin! How can I believe that after you ascend the throne, you will fulfill your promise and treat the juniors that I value well?”

The Empress Dowager’s words came from her heart: Originally, when she learned that Lu Hehao was assassinated, in order to escape, he used his wife and son as a barrier to shield himself from the arrows, she felt cold in her heart, and this time when she listened to Lu Hehao’s words, even if there was no such thing as assassination, I am afraid that he wouldn’t have let Sikong Yihan and Lu Chenggui live for a long time, such a person, who can trust him?

Who dares to trust him?

“Imperial grandmother only said that it is not proper for grandson to leave his wife and abandon his son, but please also ask imperial grandmother to think for grandson from a fair point of view!” Lu He Hao heard this and calmly said, “First of all, Sikong Yihan’s character, Imperial Grandmother must have knowledge of it all these years, it’s always been Sun’er who has tolerated her and let her be! Honestly speaking, Sun’er has long since had enough!”

“Grandson’s treating her as an outcast is certainly not the way to be a husband, but there is also the reason why she took her own life!”

“As for the Seunggu kid …”

Lu Hehao mentioned his own flesh and blood, in the end showed a touch of complexity, a pause before saying, “He would have been congenitally deficient, before it has been well nurtured, there is a ray of hope. However, when the grandson was imprisoned, no one in the house to preside over the situation, Sikong Yihan only know how to fool around, but neglected him grandson out of prison, the child has been dying! The doctor told my grandson that the child had no chance to grow up, and that living in this world in the future would be nothing but pain!”

He knew that he would definitely not be able to convince the Dowager Empress with such an explanation.

After all, even if Lu Cheng Gui won’t live to see tomorrow, as a biological father, he even pulled his own son out to be a shield in a critical situation such a move, as long as it is a normal person will not be able to approve of.

So Lu He Hao did not waste more time here, after a few sentences, is a turn of phrase, rhetorical question, “His Majesty can not sit on the throne for a long time, the Empress, the courtiers, the Queen Mother are not a light! If Imperial Grandmother doesn’t make a decision as soon as possible, I’m afraid that even if you have the highest seniority and status, it will be difficult for you to take the initiative in choosing the new ruler!”

Lu Hehao tilted his head and stared at the Dowager Empress and asked, “Yet I wonder if my grandson can know, your choice?”

The establishment of the Crown Prince and King Sukwang would both be vulnerable to the power of a foreign relative, and would not fulfill the Dowager Empress’s personal wish to take care of her juniors, such as Jian Xu Bai.

Standing Lu Hehao, good control in the early stage, but so a wife and son up face does not change color also head of the people, once the foundation, the Commission is really horrible!

For the others who might take the throne, the King of Shu is young and does not seem to have the qualifications and mentality to be an emperor at the moment.

And he doesn’t have the roots for that after coming to power, he could easily be taken over by the group of ministers, even though he won’t be a powerful relative.

King Xiang and his wife Song Yixiao, the wife of Jian Xu Bai, had clashed in their early years, and King Xiang, who had already succeeded him, was likewise out of the Empress Dowager’s consideration.

King Qing, on the other hand, is dead …

Who?

The Empress Dowager unconsciously perspired cold sweat on her forehead.

After what seemed like a short and long silence, she asked with some gnashing of teeth, “What about Duanmusong? Is she also in favor of your ascension to the throne? In that case, at such a critical time, why didn’t she personally come into the palace to speak with the mourning family?!”

“At such a critical time, Old Lady Duanmu is still closed to visitors.” At about the same time, Su Shaoge was also talking eloquently in an inconspicuous small building in the backyard of Marquis Yan’s mansion, “This is by no means due to the old madam’s lack of interest in paying attention to mundane matters, but it must be due to some great love for the mansion!”

Sitting on the main seat of the Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao exchanged a look they were just discussing the issue of the new king, who wanted to not speak a couple of sentences, the door on the report that Su Shao Ge personally visited, know that at this juncture, this is still in mourning Su second son, is bound to be for the candidate for the new king, the couple briefly discussed the next, decided to After a short discussion, the couple decided to open the door to welcome the guests.

After all, no matter if it was Jian Xu Bai’s will or Song Luoyan’s hints, they were all in favor of King Su.

Now that King Su’s first cousin has personally come to the door, there is no need for the Marquis of Yan to turn people away.

After Su Shaoge took his seat, he exchanged pleasantries and did not beat around the bush, saying, “However, Mr. and Mrs. Yin want to know that the Wei family or the Empress will not be willing to wait for death from last night, the entire Wei family has not slept yet, are running around to pave the way for the Crown Prince! I think the Empress in the palace will not be idle either!”

If Empress Wei could think of convincing Emperor Duanhua to make a preemptive sinful edict and give way to the Crown Prince, how could the Su family not think of it?

Su Shaoge said bluntly, ”Although it is said that the personal relationship between the virtuous couple and the Empress has always been good, but in the end, it is not as close as the blood and bone relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince! Now that His Majesty has fallen into infamy, in the future, even if he becomes the Supreme Emperor, he will not be able to compete with the Crown Prince for the throne so the Empress mother and son, as well as the Wei family, will certainly serve His Majesty well, and in many matters that are not related to principles, they will also certainly go along with their wishes!”

“Though it is said that His Majesty is to blame for ending up in the situation he is in now.”

“But as the virtuous couple must know, His Majesty himself would not see it that way!”

“If there is no one left to restrain him, and he remembers his past and takes revenge who can stop him?”

The meaning of the words: if the Crown Prince is now on the throne, the Marquis of Yan did not contribute half of the force in it, and naturally did not get the light!

So when the two, the Dowager Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess of Jin, closed their eyes, or even if they hadn’t yet closed their eyes, as long as the Wei family eliminated the influence of these two, at that time, if Emperor Duanhua demanded to take out those who had upset him, it wasn’t unlikely that the new ruler would choose to sacrifice Marquis Yan in order to put the matter to rest!

As for the commoner Lu Hehao Su Shaoge downplayed a sentence, “The man who abandons his wife and son is not enough to conspire with!”

Mr. and Mrs. Jian Xu Bai hadn’t considered Lu He Hao either, and even without mentioning Lu He Hao’s cool behavior towards his wife and son this time around, they weren’t interested in this prince.

Firstly, their relationship with Lu Hehao is just a normal one, and according to the information provided by Empress Wei, Lu Hehao was also the mastermind of the smallpox incident last year, and based on this personal grudge, they don’t want Lu Hehao to be the emperor; secondly, Lu Hehao’s chances of ascending to the throne are not very high, even if he has brought down Emperor Duanhua this time, there is no one behind him, and he has no chance to surpass the emperor and King Su to become the emperor. The emperor has no power, want to cross over the crown prince and Su Wang on the throne, the hope is too slim!

The Marquis of Yan is not desperate and has to burn this cold stove, and now there is a good prospect of the Crown Prince and the King of Su can choose, why pick him?

However, Song Yixiao still asked, “Does the Second Prince know how the commoner, Lu Hehao, entered Mingren Palace last night?”
