Your Majesty has always been concerned about the eldest prince.
According to Zhu Beichen's investigation, the Zhou family had been deserted for ten years.
At that time, after the Rebellion of the Five Kings, the government was in chaos. He was only concerned with government affairs and knew nothing about this matter.
Zhu Beichen reported: "All those who fanned the flames and promoted the eldest prince are more or less related to the eldest princess. The registrar around the eldest prince is the eldest princess's man."
"Also, the eldest prince's marriage was also facilitated by the eldest princess. The eldest prince has no maternal family to protect him, so he and the eldest princess are very close in private."
Liu Renxiu frowned. When his mother told him about his eldest son's marriage, he did not object.
The eldest son would be an idle prince in the future, so there was nothing wrong with marrying the girl from the Cui family that he liked.
I didn't expect that the eldest princess was involved in so many things. The eldest princess must be too good to her eldest son.
The problem is, the aunt is too good to her nephew, and she has done everything to win over so many people. What is she thinking?
Or is it because the eldest brother looks like the King of Wei, so she is particularly partial to him?
Or was it that she had always been thinking about the King of Wei?
During the Five Kings Rebellion, the eldest princess was not clean, but too many people died at that time, so she personally poisoned her biological mother to show her loyalty. Therefore, the queen mother forgave her.
…
He said, "My sister treated him very well when he was young, so there is nothing wrong with them being close. But she actually interfered in the matter of appointing the crown prince, which was presumptuous."
He had never believed in anyone who could cruelly kill his mother.
This day, in the court, when someone again proposed to make the eldest prince the crown prince, His Majesty said nothing, but suddenly became furious when the court was dismissed, and angrily accused the eldest princess of buying and selling official positions.
He was punished by being forced to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, and his fiefdom was reduced by half.
The most active officials were dismissed from their posts and investigated for various reasons. Those with serious circumstances were executed without mercy.
For a moment, the court became tense again, and those who wanted to stand on the eldest prince's side were all in a panic, and everyone felt insecure. Don't dare to show up at this time.
It goes without saying how angry the eldest princess was, but although the emperor was furious, he did not punish the eldest prince, and the court was still as harmonious as ever.
The fact that the eldest son looks like the King of Wei also proves something, because the King of Wei looks more like the late emperor. Therefore, the eldest prince has some shadow of the late emperor.
It is understandable that the grandson looks like his grandfather.
But if it is a crown prince, the eldest prince would do.
Let's talk about his background first. Just the eldest son has the support of the Grand Princess's Mansion, the Prince Consort's Mansion, and some old clans. These people don't support him because of his outstanding abilities.
Most of them did so because of the Grand Princess's intervention, or because they thought that the eldest son had a gentle personality and was easier to control.
Moreover, through a series of reforms by Cangwu, he finally saw the hope of rising.
The emperor, not only controls power, but also knows how to appoint the right people to the right positions, pays attention to people's livelihood, and puts the people first.
If the eldest son succeeded to the throne, it would be difficult for him to achieve these aspects. He is smart and has enough courage. The group of people behind him who support him will first allow Xiao Yatou to reform the land tax system.
Therefore, Liu Renxiu did not consider the calls for establishing a crown prince or an eldest son.
At this time, next door to Princess Song Jinxiu's mansion, Tian Xinghua looked livid as she looked at her stepmother and several of her less-worrying younger brothers.
They followed Zhang Zihan's convoy back to Beijing and came along secretly, so although they had to sleep in the open air along the way, it was considered smooth.
When I saw the son-in-law of the top scholar on the road in Lunshan County, and heard that Tian Xinghua was not dead, I didn't know whether it was true or not.
The clever Tian Erniu suggested going to Beijing to see if his elder sister was still alive, and then he would ask for a job from his brother-in-law, the number one scholar.
If the eldest sister is really dead, then they will run away and hide far away. If their niece never thinks of them and avenges her mother, how can they survive?
So the four of them discussed it and followed.
When they arrived in the capital, they dared not go directly to the princess's mansion to inquire. What if this was a trap set by their niece to ask them to come to the capital to plead guilty? By asking this, would they be walking into a trap?
The women waited at the gate of the Grand Princess's mansion every day, and finally saw the apricot blossoms blooming outside the house.
Tian Xinghua was granted the imperial decree of the first rank when she went out, riding in a carriage with a fine horse, dressed in gorgeous clothes piled with gold and silver, surrounded by maids and servants, and followed by black-riding guards.
The four people were stunned.
It was not until Tian Xinghua's carriage had gone far away that Liu and the others responded.
"Oh my goodness, your eldest sister is not dead, but she is still so rich and powerful. Big Cow, Second Cow, Third Cow, we have finally made it. From now on, we will follow your eldest sister. She eats meat and mother drinks soup. We have to beg her to take us in."
Tian Daniu smiled innocently, "Mom, if my elder sister eats meat, can I let you drink soup? At least we can both gnaw on the meat bones."
Tian Erniu's eyes sparkled, "Mother, can those maids around my eldest sister be my daughter-in-law? But I heard that the maids in this wealthy family have to do whatever the master tells them to do."
Liu thought that she knew more than Old Ji, so she said, "Tsk, you are useless. With your eldest sister's style, the maids are all concubines, and if you want to marry a wife, she must be a daughter of an official."
Tian Erniu's eyes were as big as copper bells, "Really? Those three concubines. The three girls around my eldest sister, they all look at her."
After saying that, he felt embarrassed again, and hurriedly said to his elder brother and younger brother: "Brother, younger brother, don't argue with me. Think about it, there must be only these maids in my elder sister's family. You can choose when the time comes."
Tian Daniu blushed when he heard him say that. "I don't want a concubine, so I just want a wife."
Tian Erniu said disdainfully: "Brother, you are such a fool. How can you complain about having too many women? Will Dad marry two more?"
Tian Niu hesitated and asked, "Mom, will the eldest sister recognize us? She used to stay away from her parents' home. She rarely went home, but was divorced when she returned. She was also forced to marry by my mother. She must hate us. What if she beats us up?"
Everyone stared at each other in confusion, feeling uneasy.
After a while, Liu slapped her thigh and said, "Why does she hate you? She should be grateful to you!"
The two sons looked at her together. Liu rolled her eyes and said loudly, "It was you who forced her to marry. How could she marry the number one scholar?"
Tian Xiaoniu scratched his ears and asked, "But this brother-in-law is not as good-looking as the eldest brother-in-law."
"Bah, good looks can be eaten? No matter what, the top scholar is promising. Let's go, sit at the gate of the princess's mansion and wait for your eldest sister to come back."
The concierge had long been alarmed by the fact that the Princess's Mansion often received relatives from Lunshan County.
Naturally, they would be allowed to sit in the gate of the Princess's Mansion to block the way. They politely let them into the gatehouse and served them tea. Someone had already reported the news to Aunt Chang.
Aunt Chang also told Zhang's mother.
When Zhang's mother heard that it was her daughter-in-law, stepmother's brother, she did not dare to neglect them and quickly invited them to the next room.
Ever since Song Jinxiu went to southern Xinjiang, she moved to live next door to her, because her son said that there was news about her father-in-law and they might go to Beijing soon, so they could live in the princess's mansion to cause trouble for Jinxiu.
