Poor Family Chapter 311

  Chapter 311, not qualified

  After Laba, the people of Dachu will start to be busy with the New Year. After that, it will be the most intensive period of visiting relatives and friends, and also the period of the most banquets in various houses in the capital.

  Among the crowd flow, the most talked about is Ye Mo and his party who are about to return to Beijing.

  As for Ye Mo's apprentice, Bai Yueguang, who killed two top masters of Beiyan, everyone has different opinions.

  Ordinary people only admire Bai Yueguang's outstanding kung fu and are mostly curious.

   But for the dignitaries, the appearance of Bai Yueguang somewhat disrupted the balance of the court, among which the princes were the most irritated.

  The eldest prince was assassinated during the disaster relief in Jianghan, and the person who rescued him was Bai Yueguang!

   "Will Bai Yueguang really be the boss?"

  East Palace, the prince frowned and looked at the information about Bai Yueguang collected by his subordinates.

  It's a pity that Bai Yueguang is too mysterious. Except for making a high-profile show when killing the spies of Beiyan Huyan's family in Rongcheng in the northwest, he acts very low-key afterwards. When saving the eldest prince, he also hurriedly appeared and left.

Wei Yichen shook his head and said, "I don't think so." Seeing the prince looking over, he continued, "Bai Yueguang is Ye Mo's apprentice, but Ye Mo is an old fox, and he was the commander of the Special Investigation Department. He is very clear about the current court situation. , if I were him, I wouldn't let my apprentice get involved in the fight for succession."

  The prince frowned: "But Bai Yueguang saved the boss."

  Wei Yichen thought for a while and said: "Last time, what happened in Jianghan was actually a bit too much. The eldest prince has made great contributions to disaster relief, and was chased and killed by so many people. Some people in the world who call themselves chivalrous and courageous may find it difficult to understand."

   "Bai Yueguang may be one of them!"

  The prince nodded after hearing this: "It's not impossible." He sighed, "Boss's luck is always so good, and he can always turn danger into safety at critical moments."

   As he spoke, he looked at Wei Yichen with a wry smile, "I don't believe in fate, but from the boss, I often feel the favor of fate for him. He is the son and the eldest son, as if he is the heir chosen by heaven."

  Wei Yichen was silent: "Protecting the country requires a lot of hard work. The First Prince is weak and cannot bear this heavy responsibility."

  The crown prince snorted, and said in an unclear manner: "The boss is weak, but his eldest son, Chu Yu, is very healthy. The emperor is now in good health. When Chu Yu grows up, he will just be able to take over."

   After finishing speaking, the prince laughed: "This old man is weak and sick, how could he give birth to a healthy child." Looking at Wei Yichen, "Are you right?"

   Wei Yichen's eyelids twitched: "It is indeed impossible according to common sense."

  The prince smiled: "The boss helped Shennongtang support Tongguguan grain and grass last time, but he offended many people. If we don't need to do it, someone will deal with him."

  The two chatted for a while, the prince was about to stay with Wei Yichen for lunch, when the maid next to the queen came, saying that he was inviting the prince to Kunning Palace for lunch.

   "Maybe the queen mother is looking for the orphan for something, you should go back first."

  The crown prince asked Wei Yichen to retreat, and walked quickly to the Kunning Palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the empress pulling her face, and immediately asked with a smile: "Who made the empress angry?"

The queen looked at the prince, waited for him to sit beside her, and then said: "Today the eldest prince and the eldest concubine brought Chu Yu into the palace, that little guy Chu Yu made your father laugh out loud, the family of three is now accompanying you The emperor is eating."

  The prince's face darkened after hearing this.

  The princess concubine only gave birth to one daughter, and his only son was born to a side concubine, probably because he was born from a concubine, and the emperor seldom asked about this grandson.

  The queen saw that the prince did not speak, she frowned and said, "How is the princess's health?"

  Prince: "I've been taking medicine."

  The queen sighed: "It's not good for the queen mother. When the emperor appointed Dou Shi to be the crown princess for you, I should have objected."

The crown prince still attaches great importance to the concubine, and immediately said: "The Dou family has three grand masters. They are the most noble and scholarly families in Dachu. It is not a disgrace to marry a daughter of the Dou family alone. The Dou family is also very good at taking care of the backyard." Be careful, except for not giving birth to a son, everything else is fine."

  The queen didn't listen: "You can't have children, this is the biggest mistake. You are a prince, what do you mean if you don't have a son?"

  The crown prince was silent: "Father is not a legitimate son either."

  The queen choked: "Okay, let's not talk about sons today, but how many more sons will you give birth to me?"

   Now, the crown prince is also depressed. He is about to stand up soon, and he has only one son under his knees. He is also very anxious.

  The queen looked at the prince: "The women in your backyard have been with you for a long time. They haven't been happy for so long. It can be seen that they are not easy to give birth to. According to the mother, I have to add some people to you."

  The prince didn't object this time: "Which girl does the queen mother have a crush on?"

  Queen: "Ren Ruoxue from Misty Palace, what do you think?"

The crown prince looked stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Father will not let his son get involved with the forces of the Jianghu, besides, Piaomiao Palace has an extremely important master, how could he be willing to let his young palace master be a concubine for Gu? "

  The Queen smiled and said, "Maybe it wasn't possible before, but not necessarily now."

  The crown prince looked over and said, "Please ask the queen mother to clarify."

  The queen looked at the prince: "Didn't the eldest prince be saved by that Bai Yueguang, and he was not clear with Shennongtang? Obviously, he is no longer the marginal prince who had no influence before."

   "Your father is the most suspicious person. He likes to hold great power. Even his son can't share the power in his hands, and he doesn't want to see things go beyond his control."

   "In order to constrain you, the emperor raised concubine Liu Gui and the fourth son to fight us. Now the boss has wings. In order to maintain the balance between the princes, he will allow us to increase the chips appropriately."

  The prince began to think seriously.

  The queen continued: "As for Piaomiao Palace, the emperor's attitude towards the suppression and suppression of Jianghu sects in the past few years has almost been revealed. Many Jianghu sects have begun to serve as guards in order to continue to pass on."

   "You don't know that Ren Ruoxue wanted to attach herself to the Duke of Anguo's mansion before, but unfortunately, neither the Empress Dowager nor Duke Anguo took a fancy to her."

   "Now, the East Palace has given her the opportunity to enter the East Palace. That is her blessing and luck. If she is sensible, she should be happy to thank you."

  The crown prince doesn't care that Ren Ruoxue was rejected by An Guogong, what he cares about is the help from Piaomiao Palace.

  The queen saw that the prince's heart was moved, and said with a smile: "A person who practices martial arts is in good health, even if Ren Ruoxue can't give birth to a son in the first birth, if she gives birth to a few more, she will always give birth to a son."

   "After all, she is the young palace master of Piaomiao Palace. If she really wants to enter the East Palace, I'm afraid she will be given the position of side concubine."

  The prince nodded in agreement: "Everything is under the mother's command."

Seeing that the prince was obedient, the queen smiled with satisfaction: "By the way, there is another one, the sixth girl of the Shi family. The Shi family who gave birth to a pair of twins to An Guogong is her own sister, and the queen mother wants to join her." Point it out to you."

  Prince: "The two side concubines and the four Liangdi are already full."

Queen: "Even though this Wuchang uncle's mansion is an earl, it has long been in decline. If the six girls of the Shi family enter the East Palace, they should be selected as servants first. If they give birth to a son, then find a reason to abandon the childless concubine Liang." One, just promote her as Liang Di."

The crown prince shook his head: "Uncle Wuchang's mansion is in decline, but Shi Dingxuan, the elder brother of the sixth daughter of the Shi family, is highly valued by his father. Some time ago, the southern governor's yamen got a job offer. My son took a look, and Shi Dingxuan made another contribution. , his acting governor should be promoted to the official governor soon."

   There is also that Shi Dinghao, although he is just a sounding board, sometimes some of his words can affect the father.

  Hearing this, the queen also hesitated: "Why don't we abolish a Liang Di now?"

  The women in the prince's backyard are all carefully selected by him, and they all have forces behind them that he wants to win over. The Shi family is useful, but they are not enough compared to the people he wants to win over. He smiled immediately:

   "Queen, it's not urgent. Didn't you point out Ren Ruoxue to my son? Let's see if she can give birth to a son for him. If not, it's not too late to think about it."

  The queen knew her son well, and when she saw that he refused, she stopped forcing her and said, "The sixth girl of the Shi family is really not qualified to be your good ladder."

   On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Yao and his party took Ye Mo back to Beijing in a busy manner.

  Before entering the city gate, Zhao Jing took Ye Lanzhi to stop the convoy.

  Chu Yao glanced at Ye Mo, who was still dying, and didn't stop the two from coming forward, but reminded: "Hurry up, you have to go to the palace to see the emperor."

   After being raised for a month, Ye Mo's injury not only didn't heal, but it became more and more serious because of the rupture and inflammation of the wound.

"elder brother"

  Ye Lanzhi burst into tears when she saw Ye Mo's miserable state.

   Even Zhao Jing, his eyes were red instantly, and he rushed to Ye Mo's side, crying loudly, while secretly handing a black token to Ye Mo's hand.

   After getting the token, Ye Mo nodded invisibly towards Zhao Jingwei.

  Zhao Jing and Ye Lanzhi didn't dare to tell Ye Moduo, they silently watched Ye Mo being brought into the palace with red eyes.

   Entering the city gate, Chu Yao saw that the white cloth belt tied to Ye Mo's body was stained with red blood again, two stones popped out, and the carriage window was smashed open.

  As the carriage moved, the windows opened and closed. Through the gap, people on the street could see Ye Mo wrapped in the carriage like a zombie.

  Ye Mo noticed the situation of the car window, and glanced at Chu Yao who was riding a horse outside the car, and just in time Chu Yao also looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and they separated in an instant.

   Just like this, amidst the pointing and discussion of the crowd on the street, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace.

   At this time, the news that Ye Mo was tortured into a shapeless form by the Beiyan people had spread throughout the capital.

  Under the leadership of Chu Yao, Ye Mo was carried all the way into the Qianqing Palace.

   Along the way, people in the palace looked sideways when they saw Ye Mo's injury.

   Everyone knew that Ye Mo would not recover if he fell into the hands of the Beiyan people, but they never expected Ye Mo to be injured so badly.

Even the emperor, seeing him crawling on the ground, unable to salute himself after struggling for a long time, was a little speechless, and when Ye Mo was sobbing and unable to say a word, he could only wave his arms to express his meaning, Can't help sighing: "Ye Qing, you have suffered."

  Ye Mo's eyes turned red, and he choked up on the ground.

  The princes and officials present saw Ye Mo like this, recalling the majestic scene when Ye Mo led the Special Investigation Division to wash the capital with blood, and there was a bit of sadness and sadness in their hearts.

   Sympathy belongs to sympathy, but we still have to talk about the business.

   "General Ye, you have such a powerful apprentice of the Supreme Master, why didn't she go to Beiyan to save you earlier? If you went earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

   "General Ye, why didn't your apprentice Bai Yueguang personally **** you back? She killed the two top masters of Beiyan, and the emperor still wants to reward her."

   "It's General Ye, you call your apprentice to the capital, let us all admire the demeanor of the supreme master."

  Ye Mo turned a deaf ear to what the officials said, just moved his arm and took out a token.

  Seeing the token, the emperor suddenly stood up.

  The princes and officials all looked at the token when they saw the emperor's reaction.

   A very ordinary black token is engraved with the word 'Dragon'.

   "Everyone back down for me."

  The prince and the officials looked at each other, and they all left the Qianqing Palace one after another.

  The prince and the princes were very puzzled. They didn't understand why the emperor sent them out when he saw a token: "What is the origin of that token?"

  Seeing that Wei Guogong was shocked, the prince walked over and asked, "Grandfather, do you know that token?"

   Wei Guogong looked at the prince, saw that other people were also looking at him, and said in a low voice: "That is the token of the twelve hall masters of the Long family."

   "Heir of the Long family?!"

   For the descendants of the Long family, the princes and officials who have a little knowledge of the martial arts of the Taizu Dynasty are no strangers.

  The successor of the Long family, the follower of Empress Wende, the facilitator of the prosperity of the Great Chu, each of the twelve hall masters is full of legends.

   "Bai Yueguang is the descendant of the Long family?"

   Master Liu Hou couldn't help but exclaim.

  As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. The princes looked at each other and quickly dispersed.

  Looking at the brothers leaving in a hurry, the prince sneered.

  When Wei Guogong met, he whispered to the prince: "Prince, if Bai Yueguang is the successor of the Long family, then Ye Mo must win over."

  The prince remained silent.

  Seeing this, Wei Guogong became anxious: "Prince, you don't know what the heirs of the Long family mean to the people of Dachu. As long as the heirs of the Long family support you, you can win at least half of the people's hearts."

  The prince frowned: "Is the influence of the descendants of the Long family so great?"

Wei Guogong sighed and nodded his head: "At the beginning of the founding of Taizu, the people of Dachu had a very difficult life. It was the descendants of the Long family who opened up the sea trade route, planted high-yield grain, made cement, and built official roads. .”

   "In improving people's livelihood, the descendants of the Long family have really done a lot to benefit the people."

   "Although the descendants of the Long family have long since disappeared on the surface, in private, the common people are still passing on their great achievements by word of mouth."

  Prince frowned: "Ye Mo is not easy to win over."

  This Wei Guogong also knows: "Fortunately, we can't win over, and neither can the other princes, but the eldest prince." After speaking, he sighed heavily, "The heirs of the Long family follow Queen Wende, and they are absolute supporters."

  The prince frowned even tighter. He found out again that because of his status as the eldest son, the eldest son could easily obtain many benefits that he and the other princes had to fight for.

  Wei Guogong said again: "Fortunately, Ye Mo is a veteran in the officialdom, and the descendants of the Long family probably don't want to be the target of the royal family's conquest anymore. There is a high probability that they will not interfere with the court."
