Junhua led Wei Ruo to Wei Zhao’s study, where Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Ruo walked to the desk and cupped his hands respectfully and said, “My nephew Wei Ruo has seen the Fourth Uncle.”

Wei Zhao smiled and nodded, raised his hand and said, “Aruo, please come and talk.”

Wei Ruo thanked him. , walked up to Wei Chongrong’s side and sat down on the empty side, while Jun Hua sat on the other side.

Wei Chongrong looked at him sideways and asked, “Aruo, how’s the Crown Princess?” When he was in the palace in the afternoon, Sun Ye retired early and didn’t come out again, and there was no news from the East Palace, so Wei Chongrong speculated. Whether it is justified, no one knows at present.

Wei Ruo nodded lightly, with a very relaxed expression on his face: “My father has checked the Crown Princess’s pulse, and he said everything is fine.”

Wei Zhao’s expression remained unchanged, and nodded without a trace, thinking that this is the situation. Of course.

Wei Ming and Jun Feili paid special attention to the fetus in Xie Xiang’s belly, and made people take good care of the East Palace. Princess Yuankang and Xie Xiu took turns to accompany Xie Xiang in the palace, so it was really outrageous that they could be exploited by others.

But Wei Chongrong has the shadow of Shangguan Yan in his previous life, and it is not so easy to let go. Besides, Shangguan Yan is Princess Zhao and the daughter-in-law of the Crown Princess. It is very easy for her to see Xie Xiang. Still a little worried.
Wei Chongrong frowned and thought for a while, then pulled Wei Ruo and asked, “Aruo, did you tell your father about your doubts?” Earlier, Wei Ruo asked him first, so it was not because of his previous life. There is a prejudice against Shangguan Huan, but there is really something wrong.

The corners of Wei Ruo’s lips were slightly raised, with a proud look on her face: “Of course I said it, so my father took away the pulse case of the Crown Princess, and also took away the remaining medicinal dregs of the East Palace Decoction, saying that it needs to be carefully analyzed. However, there is no problem with the Crown Princess’s body at the moment.”
Hearing that Sun Ye was interested, Wei Chongrong’s full of worries eased slightly. If Sun Ye made his move and still couldn’t see the problem, it could only explain two things, either Shangguan Xiang’s recipe was too clever, or Shangguan Huan really didn’t do anything.
The queen mother died, and the national mourning lasted a hundred days. During this period, all the people of the world wore plain clothes and were not allowed to marry. But after the first seven days, the operation of the imperial court was about to return to normal, and everyone started to get busy again.
The successive deaths of Wei Xuan and the Empress Dowager have dealt a heavy blow to Wei Ming. During the national mourning alone, the emperor fell ill twice. Although it was not particularly serious, thinking about the lifespan of the previous emperors, one cannot help but feel nervous. .
The Dayan Dynasty has been established for nearly three hundred years. The longest-lived emperor is the late emperor Wei Su, who lived a full seventy years, followed by Emperor Gaozong Wei Xian, who lived sixty-four years. Besides, not one lived to the age of sixty, and several of them were not even fifty.
Jin Shang was born in the thirteenth year of Yongjia, and this year is forty-seven years old, so he is not too young, but the crown prince has passed away, and his position in the East Palace is in vain. Although King Xiang has been detained, there is only one prince left in the court, King Zhao, but there is no crown prince, and many court officials are still very uneasy.
Therefore, as soon as the Queen Mother’s state mourning was over, some courtiers submitted a document and asked the King of Zhao to be the crown prince.
According to convention, as long as the prince of Dayan is not a vassal, he can enter the dynasty to experience, for example, the king of Zhao is in the Ministry of Rites. However, the prince can only go to any of the six departments, and the prince has his own Zhanshifu, which is a reduced version of the imperial court.
The education received by ordinary princes and crown princes is different. The previous Wei Xuan was carefully nurtured by Wei Ming since childhood. Now that Wei Xuan is gone, it will be a matter of time before the crown prince is re-established. If Wei Ming has multiple choices, it would be prudent to choose carefully.

But in fact, there is only one candidate for the crown prince, and that is Zhao Wang Weilan. It is absolutely normal for the courtiers to want to establish a prince early. After all, Wei Lan has not received a special education as a prince, so if he sets his name earlier, he can also train him earlier.

Wei Ming suppressed all requests to establish a reserve and did not give any response.

At first, people thought that the emperor was missing the prince and could not bear to be replaced by someone too soon. Unexpectedly, from the eighth year of Tai’an to the ninth year of Tai’an, the emperor’s health was deteriorating, and the book about the establishment of the reserve was handed over to the sea.

As rumors spread that the crown princess was carrying a male child, the atmosphere of unease in the court intensified.

Could it be that…

His Majesty is waiting for the Crown Princess to give birth to a male heir, and he wants to appoint a grandson?

Thinking of this, many people can’t sit still.

Dayan has never had the habit of conferring the title of Taisun. The eldest son of the prince is usually the prince of the county directly.

The only exception is Wei Yi, the eldest son of Emperor Yingzong, who was named Taisun at birth, but he was not directly succeeded by the Taisun, but after Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, he was crowned as the crown prince, and he was crowned as the crown prince after Emperor Yingzong died. Succession as a prince.

On the contrary, the Shenchuan Dynasty in front of the Dayan Dynasty had a precedent in which the grandson directly ascended the throne. But the two unfortunate little emperors were both usurped by their uncles shortly after ascending the throne. One was placed under house arrest for life and the other fled overseas, and has since disappeared.

You must know that the two unfortunate grandsons of the Shenchuan Dynasty were canonized when their father was alive, but it was only because the grandfather was too able to survive that they boiled their father to death, and then passed the throne directly to the grandson.

And here in Wei Ming, the prince is no longer there. He had no son before his death. If the posthumous son is named the grandson, unless he can have the lifespan of the previous emperor and raise the young grandson by himself, otherwise, it will be the beginning of the disaster for Xiao Qiang.

It’s not that the emperor has no sons, so why create such an incident, it’s really unnecessary.

Among the chiefs of the three provinces, Jiang Che is the hereditary king of Yongan, his concubine is Xie Xiu, the elder sister of the princess, and Shangguanxuan is the father of Concubine Zhao. It is self-evident what their positions are. They themselves are very restrained.

The remaining Zhongshu Ling, Sun Shu, was an absolutely neutral person who followed the emperor in everything. Only this time, Sun Shu couldn’t see Wei Ming’s mind, so he had to ask Wei Zhao to discuss how to deal with it.

Every time Wei Chongrong saw Sun Shu, he felt a sense of pride. If he hadn’t suggested to Wei Zhao to bring Lu Wang’s husband back to Yujing, this Duke Guo, who had died in the second year of Taiping, would have been there long ago. is no longer alive.

When Sun Shu saw Wei Zhao, he didn’t care about greetings at all, and asked directly: “His Royal Highness Qin, what do you think Your Majesty thinks? It’s really not a wise move to list the grandson…” Wei Ming’s physical condition is not as good as he is. Anyone should be clear.

“Cousin, don’t be impatient.” Compared with Sun Shu, Wei Zhao’s expression was obviously more indifferent, “Prince Concubine hasn’t given birth yet, is it too early to talk about Li Taisun? Daughter, nothing will happen.”

“What if it’s a son?” Although Sun Ye never mentioned the sex of the child, Sun Shu knew about him. Most of the concubine was pregnant with a son. He would be so cautious that he would be in the palace almost every day.

“Your life is hard to violate.” Wei Zhao said without hesitation: “Brother Huang insists on establishing a grandson, how could you and I be able to stop it.” In fact, in Wei Zhao’s view, there is nothing wrong with establishing a grandson, the key is that Wei Ming is much more Protect him for a few years, otherwise the young master will become unfavorable for the country.

Hearing this, Sun Shu sighed and asked, “Why does Your Majesty dislike King Zhao?” In his opinion, Wei Lan is a low-key and indisputable young man. He just lacked experience in the past. As long as Wei Ming gives him the opportunity to be a successful king Still no problem.

On the contrary, the little baby in the belly of the Crown Princess, even if it is really a boy, can be raised safely or not, let alone temperament and ability, it may be better than Wei Lan, or it may be far worse than him, the variables are too much. Great, it’s hard to say right now.

Wei Zhao glanced at Sun Shu and said solemnly: “The emperor’s heart is unpredictable, how could we have easily expected it.”

In fact, the reason why Wei Ming refused to make Weilan the prince was to tell Wei Zhao. He didn’t like Wei Lan’s temperament. Wei Lan always thinks about anyone and anything from the worst angle, and his countermeasures are always indifferent.

And what Wei Ming likes is Wei Xuan’s bright temperament. They are princes, and they are all direct descendants. They represent the orthodoxy of the imperial court. They should be magnanimous and magnanimous in dealing with others, in order to conform to the orthodoxy of the emperor.

It’s just that, Wei Zhao obviously can’t tell Sun Shu, he can only pass it on.

And for Wei Ming’s words, Wei Zhao didn’t dare to ask again, what would happen if Xie Xiang gave birth to a daughter. At that time, Wei Lan was the only option, and it was impossible for the emperor not to pass the throne to his son.

The car has its own way to the front of the mountain. It is not too late to wait for the princess to give birth to the child, and then plan the future.

Wei Zhao’s ideas are also the ideas of many people to a certain extent, but in reality, development does not depend on human will.

Just after the first month, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill and his life was in danger for a time. Thanks to the rejuvenation of the King of Lu, Neijun saved his life. At this time, there were still two full months before the princess’s due date, and the situation became very delicate.

During the emperor’s serious illness, all the affairs of the DPRK and China were entrusted to Wei Zhao, King of Qin, and he already had military power in his hands. This has also caused a lot of controversy. The emperor is not without a prince, and the prince is already an adult, why is it the King of Qin, not the King of Zhao.

After all, King Zhao is the direct prince, and it is most justifiable for him to take care of government affairs. It may be that Shangguanxuan exerted pressure, but none of them jumped out at this time to say “please make King Zhao the prince”.
