The eldest princess discussed with her retainers how to recruit their own people as quickly as possible and how to persuade some old officials to stand on the side of the eldest prince.
The retainer Hu Xing said: "Now that the eldest prince is almost 20 years old, that marriage is not going to work. We should choose another one to help him."
The eldest prince had been engaged a long time ago, but he heard that his father-in-law was implicated in Prince Yin's attempt to abdicate, and was dismissed from office and returned home.
The eldest prince's wife is naturally not the daughter of a convicted official, otherwise how can she be a mother in the future?
"Marriage? This is exactly what I want. Gentlemen, which girl would you like to see?"
In-laws are indeed the most loyal supporters. The eldest prince's wife must have a distinguished family background and outstanding character to be a model mother to him.
Everyone was whispering to each other, wondering which noble lady would be the right candidate.
Hu Xing stepped forward and said, "I think Princess Kangle is the most suitable candidate."
The eldest princess frowned and said, "Although she is knowledgeable and skilled, she is, after all, a princess from the countryside with the surname of Wang. Her status and family background are not suitable for her.
Now she is spoiled by the emperor to the point of being lawless, mean, cunning, and having a strong personality. If he makes her the crown princess, can the eldest prince control her? ”
Hu Xing said: "The king is the leader of the ministers, and the wife is the leader of the wife. Princess Kangle is a minister and has devoted herself to Your Majesty. If the eldest prince is the king, and also her wife's king, she will be even more loyal and will plan for the eldest prince wholeheartedly."
The eldest princess was still hesitant, she hated this girl.
Hu Xing continued, "I think Princess Kangle is indeed the best candidate. One Princess Kangle is worth ten noble ladies from aristocratic families."
The eldest princess said unhappily: "Princess Kangle has some skills, but she is not bad either, not to mention the support of the family resources behind her. Why does Mr. Hu say this?"
Hu Xing explained: "First, although Princess Kangle was born a peasant girl, she is a disciple of Xuan 꽭 Sect's Grand Elder Feng Yu, which means that she has the entire Xuan 꽭 Sect behind her."
Everyone was stunned, then their eyes lit up: Yes, Princess Kang Le has the entire Xuan 罭 Sect backing her up. How could they ignore such important information?
The eldest princess frowned, "If we are talking about the support of Xuan Wo Sect, isn't Cui Qiu's granddaughter also a disciple of the head of Xuan Wo Sect?"
She felt that Cui Zixuan was much easier to control than Song Jinxiu.
If I choose Song Jinxiu, I will always feel uneasy.
The second retainer said: "How can the Cui family girl be compared with Princess Kangle? She is the junior master of Xuanyue Sect. The Cui family girl has to kowtow and greet her when she sees her."
Hu Xing nodded and said: "Only Princess Kangle can mobilize the disciples of Xuanyuan Sect, and her status is unmatched.
Your Highness, as far as I know, Xuanzong is full of talented people. If you enter the court, Your Highness will no longer have to worry about talents. ”
Seeing the Grand Princess in deep thought, Hu Xing continued, "Secondly, it is Princess Kangle's intelligence.
We all know her intelligence. Any idea she comes up with can bring in a lot of money. Money makes the world go round, Your Highness.
If the eldest prince could get his assistance, the position of crown prince would be a sure thing. ”
Everyone also said, "Wasn't there a rumor a few days ago that she was the Crown Princess appointed by His Majesty? Given His Majesty's love for her, this news is probably not groundless."
Hu Xing said: "Any rumors are not groundless. This is the third thing I want to say. Princess Kangle is deeply favored by His Majesty. It is simply a matter of his words to place someone in the court. Isn't the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue the best example?"
Everyone nodded.
The eldest princess frowned: "In this case, this Princess Kang Le really must be used by me."
"Yes, as long as the eldest prince marries her and she becomes ours, her talent and everything about her will belong to the eldest prince."
"What you said makes sense, but I just don't like her. I don't know why, but from the first time I saw her, I hated her."
Sometimes you don't need to reason with someone you hate. Maybe it's because your auras are not compatible or you are incompatible with each other.
"She is too strong. There is a sense of oppression from her. Sometimes I feel as if I am the subject and she is the master.
If she is allowed to marry the eldest prince and if she is not allowed to submit, it will probably take only a few years for the Liu family to take over the kingdom. Then aren't we just making wedding dresses for others? ”
No, this Princess Kangle must not marry the eldest prince. The eldest prince is as gentle as jade, but lacks means, and is no match for that dead girl.
Besides, she didn't want to bring trouble to herself.
The retainers looked at each other, and retainer A said, "We know what Her Royal Highness the Princess is afraid of.
If Your Highness is worried that Princess Kangle will endanger the Liu family's kingdom in the future, there is no need to worry about that. After the eldest prince ascends the throne, if it really doesn't work, you can just get rid of her. ”
The eldest princess thought deeply and nodded, "That's a good idea, but does His Majesty agree to let this girl become the eldest prince's consort?"
Hu Xing said: "Love is built by people, and success depends on human effort. As long as the eldest prince is courteous and humble, and wins the favor of Princess Kangle, half of the matter will be accomplished."
Although the eldest princess felt even more unhappy when she heard that the eldest prince had to curry favor with Song Jinxiu. But for the sake of her great cause, she could endure what ordinary people could not.
"Okay, then let the eldest prince take action. Now that the principal wife is gone, the candidates for the concubines should also be selected."
So a group of retainers rummaged among the noble ladies in the capital to help the eldest prince choose a concubine.
The servant who was sent by Su Mo's second aunt to get information saw Su Mo leaving the palace from a distance, and hurried back home to report the news.
Duke Zhenguo Su Mo's parents are both dead, and his grandparents have also passed away.
After the death of the old Duke Zhenguo, Su Mo's mother, Princess Enyi, appointed a group of people to maintain the Su family army, including his illegitimate uncle Su Dingfu.
Later, Princess Enyi passed away, and Su Dingfu brought his wife and children to the funeral and keep vigil.
Moreover, since Su Mo had gone to the military camp, it was logical that the family could not be left without a master for a day, so he left his wife and children in the Zhenguo Mansion.
Therefore, in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion today, it is this illegitimate aunt who is in charge.
As the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for many years, she has lived a very comfortable life in the capital.
Now that Su Mo has returned to Beijing, she is very unhappy with him.
But no matter how much she disliked him, she didn't dare to neglect him now that his real master had returned. She had better serve him well and send him to the military camp as soon as possible.
This would save him from being around and reminding me all the time that I was occupying someone else's nest.
I don't know how my master does things. Didn't he say that he would find a way to make Su Mo disappear and inherit the position of the Duke of Zhenguo himself?
How come this kid came back to Beijing on his own initiative?
Master, this is really something. Su Mo has returned to Beijing, why hasn’t he come back?
I feel uneasy because he didn't even give me a message.
The servant reported, "Second brother, the Duke has left the palace. I rode back at full speed to report the news. He should be home by now."
The two were surprised, then forced a smile and said, "Okay, open the door and welcome Moer home."
