Chapter 539 Seeking Cooperation
Yunshang knew what kind of person Zhou Jinkang was, and was worried that the queen would be made trouble by them, so she followed the queen to the Zhou family.
As expected, Zhou Jinkang's family made a big fuss in the mourning hall, and later asked the queen to go to the emperor to take back her order, saying that it was all the eldest brother's fault and that the title should be inherited by the second eldest brother.Some people said that it was Hao who said something to Zhao that caused Zhao to suffer a stroke.
The doctors and imperial doctors in the house knew very well that if Lao Er's family hadn't come over every day to make trouble, Mrs. Zhao would not have died of illness so quickly.
The Queen came back to express her condolences in person, and many people who came to the capital came to see the Queen, and they all saw this farce.
Many people are saying that if the emperor had not seized the title and made Zhou Jinkang inherit the title of Duke, the Zhou family might have followed in the footsteps of the Zhao family.
The queen ignored the family and returned to the palace after seeing off the Zhao family.
Yun Shang went back with the queen, who looked several years older.This time, her parents were gone.
"The second brother's family really can't stand up to the wall, and the Zhou family can't rely on them." The queen still cared about the Zhou family, but this younger brother failed to live up to expectations.
After Yun Shang persuaded her for a while, the queen also figured it out. She had known this would happen for a long time.
"It's good to see two children today. You can take care of them for the mother. You don't need to be too helpful. Just find a good teacher to teach them."
There are also two concubines in the Duke's mansion. Among the children they gave birth to, two are pretty good. The queen plans to take care of them, and maybe they can inherit the Zhou family in the future.
Once Zhao died, this matter was completely over.
*
After the Zhao family and Zhou family were both defeated, the previously prosperous Pan family and Li family became low-key.
Many people thought that these two families would take this opportunity to divide the people who had been with the Zhao family and Zhou family. Unexpectedly, these two families did not make any move, as if it had never happened at all.
The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince also kept a low profile and stayed in the mansion unless necessary.
"Marshal Pan has now seen that my father doesn't care about us sons at all. He praised the sixth brother a lot before, and everyone can see his love for the sixth brother. What about now?"
Xiao Sheng came to Pan's house and discussed the Zhao family and Zhou family with Pan Yueze.
"The only one my father really liked was the dead fourth emperor brother. Now everyone can see how good he was to the queen, and he is afraid that he will make the twelfth emperor brother the prince."
The sixth prince was demoted to common people, but there were still many princes in the palace.
In addition to a few princes who had no chance, there were several princes who had a chance to become princes.
Now that the Zhou family is in decline, it is really possible for the emperor to appoint the twelfth prince as the crown prince. After all, the relatives of other princes are too powerful and can easily be monopolized by their relatives.
Pan Yueze took a sip of tea and said, "The wise king will tell you what he has to say."
Xiao Sheng didn't care about Pan Yueze's attitude, and a profound smile appeared on his lips, "If the father makes the twelfth emperor's brother the prince, then the seventh and eighth emperor's brothers will be in the way.
I feel that after my father has dealt with the Zhao family, the next one to take action will be the Pan family.
Marshal Pan knew that the king didn't care which of his younger brothers sat in that position, he just wanted to return to Cang Kingdom. "
The folk customs of Cang Kingdom are strong and strong, and they respect the strong. They are not as disciplined as Da Chu and Nan Kingdom.
In the Cang Kingdom, every son of the emperor can inherit the throne, regardless of legitimate concubines.And even daughters also have the right to inherit. There has been a queen in Cangguo in history.
In addition to the prince, the emperor's grandson can also inherit the throne over his father.
Even a grandson will have a chance if he is good enough.
As long as you can defeat those people and make them surrender, you can inherit the Cang Kingdom. The Cang Kingdom values the strong more than blood.
Therefore, among the three countries, the soldiers of Cang country are the bravest.However, the environment in Cangguo was poor and there was little food and insufficient supplies.In addition, Jia Cangguo was afraid that they would send troops to unite Dachu and Nanguo, so he had already attacked these two countries.
Pan Yueze raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Sheng, "What is the sincerity of the wise king?"
How could he not know what Xiao Sheng was thinking, simply wanting to use the Pan family's soldiers?
Xiao Sheng had hooked up with his youngest son Pan Hongcai before, hoping to borrow troops from the Pan family, but Pan Hongcai died in Dachu.
In order to appease the Pan family, Xiao Sheng took the initiative to send his imperial sister out. The cruel master, Pan Yueze, did not trust Xiao Sheng.
Pan Yueze also thought about the affairs of Prince Rui's Mansion, and later found out that the person who first released the news that Princess Rui was not in the Prince's Mansion was Xiao Sheng.The Pan family had many people stationed in Lingnan, but Xiao Sheng learned the news earlier than the Pan family.
But he underestimated the third prince.
Xiao Sheng took the initiative to seek cooperation, but Pan Yueze did not trust him.
Facing Pan Yueze's questioning, Xiao Sheng still smiled, "I can fully cooperate with the Marshal's Mansion and let my father make the eighth prince the crown prince."
The eighth prince's mother, Concubine Pan, is from the Pan family, and the Pan family must want the eighth prince to become the crown prince.When the eighth prince ascends the throne, the Pan family will become more powerful than ever before.The Pan family can even control the eighth prince from behind and take complete power.
At that time, the entire Southern Kingdom will fall into the hands of the Pan family, even if they want to become the emperor, there is no problem.
With such great benefits attracting them, how could the Pan family give up this opportunity.
"No matter who the emperor appoints as the prince, the old ministers will be loyal. Furthermore, the emperor is still young and in good health, so he is in no hurry to establish the prince." Pan Yueze stared at the tea cup in his hand, the tea leaves tumbling in the scalding hot water.
Just like this Shangjing City, it looks calm on the surface, but there is already an undercurrent surging inside.
He was not surprised that Pan Yueze rejected Xiao Sheng. Pan Yueze had always been cautious. The royal family had long been wary of the Pan family. The Pan family was safe until now because of Pan Yueze.
"As expected of the Grand Marshal, I am impressed by this magnanimity."
Xiao Sheng stopped mentioning the matter, chatted about calligraphy and painting with Pan Yueze, and left Pan's house a quarter of an hour later.
After returning to Prince Xian's Mansion, he walked straight to the innermost house of the Prince's Mansion.
The courtyard is filled with beautiful flowers and is surrounded by tall trees. Even in the hottest summer, it is very cool here.
After entering the courtyard, there was a man in his forties sitting inside.The man's face was calm, with a faint smile on his face, and there was nothing special about him.
But Xiao Sheng was quite respectful to this person.
"Sir, as expected, Pan Yueze refused."
The commoner man sitting on the stone bench poured a cup of tea for Xiao Sheng, "Your Highness, how about you try this tea."
Xiao Sheng took the cup and took a sip, then raised his eyebrows and said, "This is tea that only the royal family of Chu can drink."
"I heard that Master Pan likes Da Chu's tea. Your Majesty can send some to Master Pan."
Hearing this, Xiao Sheng laughed.
Their original target was not Pan Yueze, so what was the use of Pan Yueze's caution?
Pan Yue is already old, and now he is just struggling to support himself. Sooner or later, the Pan family will be handed over to the next generation.
"Thank you sir, when I succeed, I will definitely help you get revenge!"
