His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 260
Afterwards, Cen Shangshu got down to business.

He told Chen Yanzhi what happened in the Imperial Study Room today, and at the end he told the guesswork of his mentor, the Minister of Honglu Temple.

"The teacher has gone through three dynasties, and he knows His Majesty's mind very well, and he can guess a little bit. What he said is probably true."

Chen Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

"If Your Majesty has such intentions, Lord Zheng and his ilk must have heard about it long ago, but I don't think it looks like it?"

Since ancient times, the change of power has mostly been bloodshed.

But the current prince's ability is far superior to other princes, if there is no accident, many disasters can be avoided.

If your Majesty wants to take the throne of Zen, he must first inform the ancestral temple, and then call the Minister Gu to act as a guarantor, and finally announce it to the world.

In the past two months since His Majesty came back from the southern tour, he has neither sacrificed to the ancestral temple nor summoned Zhu Guogong and others. The theory of the Zen position is somewhat unbelievable.

But the fact that the vassal king entered the capital and the countries came to court is indeed a bit strange...

Cen Shangshu knew that this matter should not be taken lightly, so he said:
"It's fine if it's not true, but if it's true, brother should make preparations early."

"For seven years in the palace, Fulin gave birth to the eldest son and daughter of the crown prince, and now she is pregnant again. In terms of credit, she can be called the No. It is extremely regrettable to be picked peaches!"

It was about his daughter, Chen Yanzhi also frowned.

These years, they have noticed the kindness of the prince to their daughter, and they are faintly used to it. The daughter seems to be No. 1 in the East Palace.

But in the end, the name is missing.

Chen Yanzhi felt in his heart that the main reason why the crown prince did not appoint a crown princess was because their Chen family's family background was not obvious and Fulin's status was not enough.

Although it is much better for the imperial power to be controlled by aristocratic families than in previous years, those in high positions always have to weigh the pros and cons and balance each family.

It is difficult to guarantee that His Highness the Crown Prince will not appoint someone else as his successor after ascending the throne...

Chen Yanzhi said: "What my virtuous brother said is that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. Let me think about it carefully."

They Chen Jiageng studied the heirlooms, and it was their destiny to be a humble family. Although they have made a lot of contributions to the prince these years, it is far from enough.

He had to think carefully about what to do to benefit Flynn.

Cen Shangshu came here today to remind his in-laws.

Both of them prosper and lose.

Moreover, the Chen family now represents the upstarts from a poor family, and their prestige among the officials from the poor family in the court is second only to Master Zheng Yuan.

Nobility in the imperial court, noble families, poor families divide the world into three parts, and once the emperor and the courtiers, Mr. Zheng will be reused by His Majesty, how can he know that he will also be reused by the Crown Prince in the future?

However, the Chen family and the crown prince have relatives by marriage, and each of the four sons of the Chen family is a dragon and a phoenix, so it may not be impossible to become the second Mr. Zheng in the future.

If Fulin can go one step further, and even enter the central palace, the Chen family will rise, and it will be a blessing for their poor family.

However, if His Highness had to appoint someone else as his heir due to trade-offs, this person would probably come from a noble family, and their poor family would fall behind.

It is even very possible to repeat the disaster of Wang Lu again.

This is something none of them want to see.

Prince: Hehe, father-in-law is thinking too much.

He just wanted to give her a unique position, not a seat that others had sat on.

When he takes the throne someday, she will be his only queen.

Cen Shangshu had dinner at Chen's house, and then went home in his green cloth thick car.

Mrs. Cen saw that it was really dark when he came back, she couldn't help complaining: "My daughter and son-in-law are not at home, it's better for you to go to your in-law's house to eat and drink."

Cen Shangshu pretended to be dumb: "Why? My daughter and son-in-law are not here, so I can't walk around with my in-laws and have a meal?"

Mrs. Cen gave him an annoyed look, "It's only because of you!"

While scolding him, she still took the coat he took off and hung it on the rack, and asked the servant girl to bring hot water to warm his hands.

When the hands are warm, the heart is also warm.

Cen Shangshu smiled at the corner of his mouth, listening to his old wife's thoughts, scolding him for being old and shameless, and did not refute.

The daughter went to the border with her son-in-law, and the husband and wife were the only companions in the huge mansion. Someday, the old lady would not hear him talking about him, so it was strange that she was not used to it.

"Okay, who doesn't know that you just miss that stinky girl, what's there to think about, your daughter may be enjoying herself outside right now!"

In the past few years, Mrs. Cen has not come to the house easily except for the New Year's Eve, and she blames her son-in-law in her heart.

The old couple had only one daughter, and soon after they got married, they went to the border with the third boy of the Chen family, and they didn't even get a glimpse of the birth of their grandson.

Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Cen's eyes immediately turned red.

"The sky is far away from the Emperor, and the borderlands are bitterly cold. The child is so young, neither mother nor mother-in-law is with her, and I don't know how the child got here."

If it wasn't for the fact that the border was too far away, it would take more than half a year for her to go back and forth. The master was alone in the capital without anyone who knew the cold and the hot, so she would definitely have packed up and left.

It's not that Cen Shangshu doesn't miss his daughter, but her daughter went to the border, it's better than staying in Shangjing alone to serve her in-laws, right?
When they were young, the relationship between them was right and wrong, and with all the hardships their daughter had suffered with Guilin all these years, the son-in-law and the old Chen family had to be polite to his daughter in this life.

You are young, let's suffer a little bit, the rest of your life is the time to enjoy happiness.

He thought so, so he told his wife.

Mrs. Cen scolded him a few more words, and the two of them packed up and prepared to rest.

The winter days are long and the nights are still cold!

north.

Ningcheng.

The blanket of snow buried the whole world.

Looking around, there is no other color except the white eyes.

Several fast horses galloped past on the cleared road. The horses' hooves were covered with straw, so they could not slip on the ice.

The city gate quietly opened a crack, just enough for a man and a horse to pass through.

After entering the city, several fast horses went straight to the defense mansion.

After going in to pay their errands, several people walked out of the garrison mansion.

A soldier who was tightly packed and only saw a pair of sloppy eyes stretched, feeling refreshed.

"Hey, I came back alive again, it's not easy!"

"Hahaha, it's all thanks to our boss this time, if he didn't light the firecrackers, we might have been caught up by those idiots."

"Brother Lei said yes, thank you boss!"

"As expected of our boss, this brain is so easy to use, which one of us goes out to bring firecrackers!"

"Looking at how they are still pissed off this time, they overturned their old lair, but it's a pity that they didn't unscrew their heads and heads..."

The person who spoke smacked his lips, his tone full of regret.

"It's such a cold day, let's go, brothers, buy the boss a drink!"

Boss, Shen Shen will stand there, motionless.

Listening silently to the brothers who went out on missions together telling the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, I was also grateful in my heart.

Because of the mutual market, many tribes in the north and Dajing have lived in peace for many years.

But the Dada tribe in the north, who don't want to spend money and want their things, come to court twice a year.

They are annoying.

This time, Chen Guilin took four or five people, pretending to be businessmen, to the north, and burned their king's tent.

It's just a pity that he was run away by that da da.
