56 056 Biased

◎Sigh. A biased mother is really hard to bear.◎

The prince was once again confined by Master Kang.

However, the explosive news that the next emperor to succeed Master Kang is actually the Fourth Prince was once again brought to everyone's attention.

Because it is a matter of great importance to the state system and the relationship between the people, no one dared to express any opinions even though everyone had different thoughts.

First of all, Master Kang is still alive, and it is really inappropriate to discuss the successor now.

Especially when the successor is not the prince, it is even more sensitive - it is not allowed to talk nonsense, because he will be dragged out and the whole family will be executed and the nine clans will be exterminated at any time.

Secondly, even if the prince falls, there are so many princes besides the position of the Fourth Prince. Whether it was the eldest prince, the eighth prince, or even the young thirteenth prince and fourteenth prince, they were all quite favored by Master Kang.

It could be said that everything was possible, except for the fourth prince, who, objectively speaking, was not really that outstanding...

And wasn't he firmly standing on the side of the prince, supporting him, and preparing to be a wise minister to assist the prince?

So, could this explosive news really be true?

Everyone couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.

As a result, their mood inevitably became more complicated.

Among all the people, Concubine De Wu Ya's mood was undoubtedly the most complicated.

She was the birth mother of the Fourth Prince, but because her position was still very low when she gave birth to the Fourth Prince, and most importantly, her family background was not high, according to the rules of the early Qing Dynasty, she was not qualified to raise a prince herself, so the child could only be given to Tong Jia, who was still a noble concubine at the time.

Logically, if the firstborn child was taken away to be raised, as a mother, she would definitely be very disappointed, always worried, and in the end, she would pay special attention to this child.

But Concubine De was extremely fertile. After the Fourth Prince, she gave birth to the Sixth Prince, the Fifth Princess, the Seventh Princess, and the Fourteenth Prince in succession. Counting the little princess who died prematurely before the Fifth Princess at only two months old and therefore had no teeth, she gave birth to a total of six children.

From the age distribution, the youngest child, the Fourteenth Prince, is only ten years older than the oldest child, the Fourth Prince. In other words, in the past ten years, Concubine De was either giving birth or on the way to giving birth. Basically, she had to add a child every one or two years on average. She was really a model worker in the harem's child-bearing team.

Because of this reason, she probably didn't have much time and energy to cultivate feelings with each child.

Especially the oldest Fourth Prince, who was taken away and raised when he was just one month old. Now it has been 26 years, and the relationship between mother and son is almost like strangers.

In sharp contrast to this is the Fourteenth Prince. When this baby was born, Concubine De had been a Concubine De for a long time, and had given birth to several children. Her favorability with Master Kang was basically full, so this child was raised by herself.

Of course, the so-called raising a child by oneself is not possible like modern mothers who do everything by themselves, but being able to raise a child in the palace and see him at any time is already very good.

Even if it is not for this reason, it is normal for a mother to love the youngest child. In particular, although Defei gave birth to six children in one go, only the fourth and fourteenth princes are still alive.

Well, there is just one left, so all the trouble in the middle was in vain...

So Defei thinks that only the youngest son, the fourteenth prince, is her son. As for the fourth son, he has grown up a long time ago and has always been mature, stable and sensible. He does not need a mother anymore. Just be polite and it will be done.

She was born in a humble family, and being able to become the Defei was already a great fortune and the pinnacle of her life. She didn't think about going any further, but just wanted to wait until the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the Fourteenth Prince was made a king and opened a palace, so that she could ask for permission to go out and follow him to be the old concubine and enjoy the good life.

According to how much Master Kang likes the Fourteenth Prince, the Defei's wish is very likely to come true. So she has always been very stable, and has been waiting for this day to come honestly and happily in the palace.

Originally, if there were no accidents, the Defei's life could have been so peaceful and stable, until today when Mo Yu entered the palace, complained about science and expressed his inner voice, and spread this fact in front of everyone, and the Defei moved to Bengbu all of a sudden.

Emma, ​​what the hell?

You said that the fourth prince will be the emperor in the future?

How is this possible?

This poor kid has a gloomy face all day long and can't even say a nice word. His Majesty has never praised him in front of me, his biological mother. How could he think of passing the throne to him?

This is impossible.

You said not to pass it to the crown prince, then pass it to the eldest son, the eighth son, or even the fourteenth son, who are better than him...

oh, why not the fourteenth son?

That child is so good, he is good at both literature and martial arts, good-looking, and sweet-mouthed. If it weren't for her biological mother praising him, even His Majesty would like the fourteenth son very much, right?

He also said several times that the fourteenth son is the most like him...

So, it really wasn't a mistake, did he say fourteenth instead of four?

Defei was confused, so she didn't pay special attention to what everyone said afterwards.

Instead, the empress dowager looked at her twice and showed a meaningful smile.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, no matter which prince succeeded to the throne, it would not affect her, and she also knew that Concubine De always favored the youngest son, so she would not be too happy to hear that the fourth prince would succeed to the throne.

However, this little kid does have some background, and regardless of whether this is true or not, the fact that he can come up with so many things casually and naturally is already very remarkable.

I am afraid that there is really some "revelation from God", and when necessary, she will still talk to the emperor.

Although she has also heard that the things that the little kid of the Lin family thinks in his heart can only be listened to and not discussed, but smart people will naturally understand how to convey each other's meaning without saying those words.

As for the fourth prince, he is the calmest one among all people.

This is not the first time he has heard this news.

When he first heard it, he did have some thoughts.

But now he can listen to the young master of the Lin family "talking" about this matter without changing his expression.

How to say it.

Anyway, the emperor has known about this matter for a long time.

It is a blessing, not a curse. If it is a curse, it is inevitable. It is better to continue doing what he should do. Anyway, he has a clear conscience, so there is no need to feel guilty and lose his composure, right?

As long as the other princes are a little older, they can't remain calm about this news, after all, they are completely interested in each other - what? You said that the one who ascended the throne in the end was not the prince, but the fourth prince?

On what basis?

The eldest prince was the first to disagree.

But fortunately, he didn't come because of something and was not present, so he didn't get angry on the spot - the ambition of the eldest prince for the throne can be said to be known to everyone. If he heard the news, he would explode immediately?

I just don't know if this so-called restriction of only being able to listen and not speak will work on the eldest prince.

However, even if the eldest prince is not there, there is still the eighth prince.

This kid's life experience is even more tragic than the fourth prince. Because his birth mother, Concubine Zhuang, was of a lower birth, she was even scolded by Master Kang in anger as a "Xinzheku slave", which shows how miserable she was.

He was also taken away to be raised after he was born, but the one who raised him was Concubine Hui Ma Jia, the birth mother of the eldest prince.

In this way, his relationship with the eldest prince is closer than with his other brothers. Although they are not born of the same mother, they are better than siblings - at least it is much better than the relationship between the fourth prince and the fourteenth prince.

The most amazing thing is that the fourteenth prince is not close to his fourth brother, who was born of the same mother, but is better with his eighth brother, who is not only not born of the same mother as him, but also obviously not in the same camp as the fourth brother and them. This is also strange enough.

Therefore, after hearing the news from Mo Yu that it was actually the Fourth Prince who would succeed to the throne, the Eighth Prince was shocked. Although he managed to remain calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil - Oh my god, what the hell, if the Fourth Prince were to take the throne, it would be the end of him.

This absolutely cannot happen. I have to go back and discuss it with my eldest brother.

Compared with the Empress Dowager, the concubines and the princes, Master Kang had different ideas.

This was not the first time he had heard from the little Lin family that it was the Fourth Prince who would inherit the throne. His mood also changed from confusion, rage and madness at the beginning to calmness and indifference.

Of course, he did not want to die, but he knew clearly in his heart that everyone would die eventually.

How to pass on the prosperous era he built is a more important thing.

Fortunately, according to what the little kid said, he still has 20 years, which is enough time to choose the most suitable candidate.

Even if it is really God's will and it finally falls into the hands of the fourth brother, he has to let him see what this kid is capable of first. Anyway,

he is still alive and kicking, there is no need to be afraid.

But the prince is really impatient... Well, let's see if the younger ones are any better, right?

As an emperor, he doesn't believe in destiny the most. Even if it is really destiny, he will fight for it.

Who to pass the throne to is still up to him, the long live master.

Master Kang's attitude towards this matter is so indifferent that it is even more difficult for everyone to express anything.

That’s right, the kid from the Lin family is only three or four years old, what can he understand?

Even if he has this magical power to express his inner voice, it doesn’t mean that everything he says is right, right?

His Majesty (Emperor) didn’t say anything, so why are they making a fuss? Just do what you need to do.

Therefore, because of the calmness of the parties involved, especially Master Kang, the explosive news that Mo Yu accidentally revealed was just passed by, and it can be said that there was no splash at all.

Oh, it can’t be said that there was no splash at all, at least the prince was reprimanded and confined again...

Okay, looking at it this way, it feels that what the kid from the Lin family said was at least right in one aspect, and the prince may really be in danger of sitting firmly on the current position.

Isn’t it the case that the competent person gets the job?

Let's wait and see who can take this position.

Everyone present had different thoughts, but Mo Yu had no time to pay attention, because his full attention was on what the Queen Mother had just said.

[Oh my God!]

[So I really have to go to work tomorrow?]

[I heard that the princes all lead very competitive lives, and they have to get up at four or five in the morning to study!]

[I can't do it!]

[Please let me go!!]

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his cry, and he welcomed his first day as a worker amid everyone's good-natured laughter.

[Author's words]

Ahhh! Again...

definitely tomorrow.
