Chapter 139: Destiny is beyond human control
Not every dynasty required a bloody fight for the throne; there were also dynasties where succession could be smooth without a fight for the throne.
Especially for the current crown prince, this situation does not exist. After all, his power is already strong enough.
The Queen's mother's family is Feng, a mysterious and powerful family. Whenever there is turmoil in the Great Qi Kingdom, a member of the Feng clan will suddenly appear. After the country is stabilized and pacified, the Feng clan members will retreat again, just as quietly as they came.
It is said that the Great Qi Kingdom originally belonged to the Feng clan, but their ambitions were not here. After conquering the world with the First Emperor, they retired and no one knew their whereabouts since then.
The sun and the moon rotate, and the years pass.
Nowadays, people no longer know where Feng Shi is now, but they know that Feng Shi is a "god" in their world, saving people from suffering. Therefore, they never worry about anything, as long as they take good care of themselves. They understand that Feng Shi's people will appear to save them from danger.
This queen came at the behest of their emperor, who only asked that the Feng family leave descendants in his Zongyuan clan, and also leave behind bloodlines, to tell those who have evil intentions that his prince is a member of the Feng family. If they want to seek power, they should see if they have a strong head and can lay the foundation for the Great Qi Kingdom.
The Feng clan members sent the women here not for wealth and glory, but also to preserve the Feng clan bloodline to shock the world.
To put it bluntly, if the Feng family has to step in every time there is unrest, it would be too tiring, and it would only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It would be better to solve the problem once and for all.
Therefore, the current prince does not need to win over any court officials, because the Feng family is more powerful than these court officials.
Ji Chenchuan couldn't help but smile sarcastically when he thought of this.
It was a waste of the Feng family's efforts, and it was a waste of the queen's choice to enter the palace and be trapped in this harem for the rest of her life without any freedom.
Originally thought that it could bring a lifetime of peace to the Great Qi Kingdom, but never expected that it was the prince himself who was confused and sought his own death.
To put it bluntly, if the prince hadn't done so many evil things and had just followed the path arranged by the emperor and the empress, he would definitely have been the most successful prince and new emperor in the world.
But now, he actually wants to gain his own power in the court? Sigh, I really don't know what he is thinking.
Therefore, if someone takes advantage of this matter, it is hard to say who will be the master of this country.
And the most likely person is the eleventh prince in front of him.
The mother of the eleventh prince, Concubine Ning, is the most beloved concubine of the emperor. The emperor and the queen have a relationship like husband and wife, which is beneficial to the country, and is respectful and helpful. However, Concubine Ning is the woman that the emperor loves as a man, which is of great significance.
Therefore, if the emperor dotes on his son, he must be doting on the eleventh prince even more. He loves him as a father. When he does something wrong, he will be beaten when he deserves to be beaten, scolded when he deserves to be scolded, and pampered when he deserves to be pampered.
If the emperor really wanted to pass the throne to a prince, it would only be Zong Yuancheng.
So, with the Crown Prince seeking his own death, does the Eleventh Prince want to seek this high position?
Zong Yuancheng looked at him in disbelief.
"You can't do that? Do you really think I have that ability? Ji Chenchuan, do you think I have that intention?"
After saying that, Zong Yuancheng cracked some melon seeds. With the way he sat and the way he looked, how could he look like someone vying for the throne?
Ji Chenchuan smiled and said, "Whether you have that intention or not, only you know. Just because you don't have that intention doesn't mean you don't want to."
He had no interest in it, possibly because of limited conditions. For example, he did not have a Feng family like the Queen as his maternal family. For example, his image as a playboy was deeply rooted in the entire Daqi Kingdom. Everyone knew that the eleventh prince of Daqi was ignorant and in trouble. He even nearly endangered the life of him, the son of Wu'an Hou. In short, people had a deep impression of him, but not a serious one.
But if he were given a powerful force and another chance, would he take it away?
Zong Yuancheng was getting impatient. "Why are you bringing this up on me? We're talking about you now. Do you really not want that Lin Yingxue anymore? Ji Chenchuan, don't forget, if this marriage fails, you'll never have another chance."
When Zong Yuancheng said this, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
If Ji Chenchuan was not so weak, he would really be a promising talent. His knowledge was deeply appreciated by Wen Taifu. He once used a poem "Yangchun" to make Wen Taifu hide in the library of the academy for three days without going out, just to study his poem. Daoming would not listen to anyone else but him.
It’s not because Ji Chenchuan is good-looking, but because he has great talent and strategy.
It’s a pity that he didn’t live long.
He asked his mother privately, and his mother told him that according to the medical records in the Imperial Hospital, he would not live past the age of twenty-three.
He asked his mother, is there no medicine that can cure it?
My mother said, "Not everyone can use medicine. These are all fate and have no control over them."
Even if the old lady of Marquis Wu'an used up all her dowry, she could only protect her grandson for a few years, but could not guarantee his longevity.
Therefore, Ji Ziming's move can be said to be cruel. It left Ji Chenchuan without a bedmate during his lifetime and without a tomb keeper after his death, not to mention the burning of paper money every Qingming Festival after his death. Once Ji Chenchuan died, who in this world would remember him and burn paper money for him?
It's really a murder that breaks one's heart.
but.
"Ji Chenchuan, the cruelest person should be yourself."
It was he who came up with this idea, and he really didn't leave himself any wiggle room.
Ji Chenchuan did not answer, but only said, "Eleventh Prince, it's getting late, you should go back."
Let him handle the rest of the things himself. It has nothing to do with him whether he has a tomb keeper or not. Besides, he doesn't want this annoying person in front of him to ruin his good deeds.
Let’s put it this way, the Eleventh Prince is smart, but he is also a troublemaker. Moreover, he has a stingy personality. He is afraid that he will scare his Lin Qingjun away, which would be a real loss.
Zong Yuancheng chuckled, "You want to chase me away and act on your own? Ji Chenchuan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm telling you, no way. This prince has decided to get involved in this matter. Tell me what you want to do, and I'll help you do it right now."
Ji Chenchuan shook his head. See, he knew he was like this.
However, the next moment, Eunuch Zhang came over.
Zong Yuancheng looked at Eunuch Zhang, then at Ji Chenchuan, gritting his teeth in anger.
"Ji Chenchuan, was it you who called me here? You actually plotted against me to prevent me from being with you?"
Fortunately, he treated him wholeheartedly, but he actually let his mother call him back?
Eunuch Zhang is the personal eunuch of his mother. Didn’t he come here just to get him to go back?
Ji Chenchuan is so cruel.
Ji Chenchuan ignored his anger. Although he had no intention of seizing the throne, the imperial concubine did. She wanted her son to sit on that high position and get better things.
However, the Imperial Concubine was also very clear that now was not the right time, and she had been waiting for the Crown Prince to reveal his true colors.
Eunuch Zhang "pressed" the eleventh prince and turned to salute Ji Chenchuan.
"Thank you, Prince, for your help."
