Chapter 1105: It’s hard to say after a long time
Today, the Fourth Prince's faction has benefited from this matter. Tomorrow, the Third Prince will have to benefit from that matter. If there is a vacancy the day after tomorrow, who will fill it will be another battle.
What about the prince? The prince has been working hard to balance the disputes among his brothers. He is selfless, but it is a pity that it is useless for him to not fight or compete. None of his three brothers are easy to deal with.
There is no need to talk about the Fourth Prince. The Taoist Shang Zhen, whom the Emperor trusts the most, was found by Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince. Concubine Mei has always been favored. The Fourth Prince is smart and clever, and the Emperor likes him the most. Now, the one who can best compete with the Crown Prince is the Fourth Prince.
The second prince is also not weak. His mother, Concubine De, is the niece of the deceased Empress Dowager and is from the Sun family.
Not to mention that the Sun family holds military power, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have a deep mother-son relationship, and he and Concubine De grew up together, so naturally they value the Second Prince very much.
As for the third prince, although his maternal family was not very powerful, he was the son of the current Queen Qi. Apart from the crown prince, his status was the most noble. This was an innate advantage, so he naturally had a group of followers around him.
Although Empress Qi's reputation was not as good as that of the previous empress, her power had grown considerably over the years.
Everyone could see clearly that the reason why the Emperor appointed Empress Qi as the empress was because her family had no power and no talents, so as to prevent anyone from threatening the Crown Prince.
At that time, the emperor still valued the prince very much.
But as time goes by, it’s hard to say.
It can't be said that the emperor has the intention to depose the prince, in fact, he doesn't. But sometimes, it seems a little strange.
In short, no one knows what the emperor is thinking.
No one knows, so there is a lot of room for imagination!
In addition, the prince was too kind-hearted and always tried to smooth things over and give in, which only encouraged his younger brothers to be more evil and make them look down on him even more.
Even an outsider like Shao Yunduan, who had just arrived, couldn't help but worry for the prince. The prince was so kind, could he really hold on to the end?
It's not that being kind is wrong, but if he keeps giving in and accommodating like this, who among the other princes will appreciate it? They will only push it further.
Shao Yunduan actually has a good impression of the prince. He is truly courteous, approachable, and very tolerant towards his subordinates. However, as a prince, how can he control everyone without some iron-blooded tactics!
The situation in the capital city seems calm, but in fact it is extremely tense. No one knows when the tight string will break with a "bang".
Shao Yunduan doesn't want to offend anyone, so it's best for him to leave Beijing.
In fact, if the emperor had not said a few words at the Qionglin Banquet, he might have been successfully "expelled" out of the capital.
Shao Yunduan didn't tell Qiao Xuan about these things. Telling her would only cause her more trouble, which was unnecessary.
They still have time to plan slowly.
Two days later, the weather was still good. Shao Yunduan took a day off and took Qiao Xuan out for a walk.
The red leaves in the Fourth Prince's Villa are exquisite, and the fiery red, crimson, and golden yellow that dot the mountains and fields are even more stunning.
The two picked a lot of mushrooms in the mountains, and picked a lot of persimmons and dates at a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain. They also bought the farmer's own eggs and pickles, and returned home happily until the sun set in the afternoon.
