Chapter 163;

It's not that she is confident.

Instead, it is based on the current situation in Dongzhou court.

Everyone in the world does not know that the eldest prince is a descendant of the middle palace and is the eldest son of the emperor. As long as he does not do anything rebellious, the position of prince must be in his pocket.

However, the Duke of Zhen Guo and many civil servants and military generals have often written in recent years to ask for the crown prince.

What about Emperor Hongwen?

But she has been holding back the pressure, and the reason is unknown to others, but she can guess one or two.

The Son of Heaven is in his prime of life, his ambitions have not yet been realized, his descendants are powerful, the Duke of Zhen's government has a high position and power, and he still has a heavy army in his hands.

The power is too strong, which has aroused the jealousy of the emperor. If the eldest prince is really established as the prince, will the Zhen Guogong faction be loyal to him, the emperor or the prince?
If he had the heart to replace him, what would he do as the Son of Heaven?
This is not only seen by her, I believe that many people in the court can understand it, especially the people from the Zhen Guogong faction, who are well aware of it.

It is precisely because they know this that they are eager to put the prince on the throne as soon as possible.

The late ones change, and as the princes behind gradually grow up, their ambitions are gradually revealed.

As far as the second prince is concerned, Emperor Hongwen wanted to give Lu Yaoyao a marriage, and many people in the court knew the tricks in it.

It's nothing more than wanting to support someone who can curb the momentum of the First Prince.

He sent out such a signal, and some ministers in the court must have changed their minds.

At that time, he will add fuel to the flames again, without him needing to speak, some people will jump out and oppose the faction of Duke Zhen, and the position of the prince will remain unresolved.

Duke Zhen and the others are very aware of this, so they must be anxious. At such a time, there is nothing more important than letting the eldest prince get the crown prince.

She, Lu Yaoyao, has shown her face many times recently, offering so many good things to Dongzhou.

Emperor Hongwen attached great importance to it. At this time, the eldest prince jumped out to trouble her, and he was undoubtedly contradicting Emperor Hongwen. Isn't this a foolish excuse he gave to others?

So there is no need for her to do anything at all, Duke Zhen and others will hold down the momentum of the First Prince.

The truth is exactly as she thought.

The rumors outside the past two days have been fully fermented with the help of so many family members.

Zhen Guogong was furious at the mansion at this time.

And the person who bears his anger is none other than his son Wang Yu, the son of Lord Zhen Guo.

"Fool, bastard."

"Father, I remember I told you before, don't use your pig's brain to give advice to His Highness the First Prince."

"Are you deaf?"

That's right, the eldest prince will get involved this time, and the person who came up with the idea is Wang Yu, the eldest son of Lord Zhen Guo.

Because of the crisis in the Lu family last time, he had an idea with the eldest prince to keep him away from Lu Yaoyao, and not to confront the Gao family because of an insignificant person.

His Royal Highness heard this, so he didn't go to the appointment.

Afterwards, something happened, which made the eldest prince regret not falling, and wanted to make up for it, but it was a pity that Lu Yaoyao had completely broken off his friendship with him.

A peasant girl from a farm, he is a dignified prince, the future prince, you are not good enough to curry favor, but you still have a temper?
This made the eldest prince very unhappy, thinking that his majesty had been trampled on.

He often feels aggrieved in front of his cousin Wang Yu.

And because of that incident, Wang Yu was also severely reprimanded by Lord Zhen, and even the queen empress beat him severely.

It made him very dissatisfied with Lu Yaoyao.

Two people who are angry and dissatisfied get together, what else can they do?
No, when it came out that Lu Yaoyao was going to kill Xu Zhao with a sword in the street, the two of them saw the opportunity, thinking that even if they couldn't get rid of Lu Yaoyao for the time being, they would still have to disgust her.

That's why I got involved in it.

"Father, my son is also doing this for His Highness the First Prince. Recently, he has complained every day. I also want to express my anger for him."

"And our actions are very clean, Lu Yaoyao is just a peasant girl, how could she find out?"

Although Wang Yu was kneeling, seven of them were dissatisfied and eight were not angry. When talking about Lu Yaoyao, his eyes were cold and his disdain was undisguised.

"Besides, what can we do even if we find out? How dare we do anything to us?"

As soon as the words came out, Duke Zhen grabbed the teacup beside him and threw his hand on the floor tiles in front of Wang Yu.

The tea mixed with the powdered tiles splashed, and one of them happened to pass across the back of Wang Yu's hand, leaving a small gash, and dark red blood seeped out from the wound.

"She couldn't find it, so could it be that His Majesty couldn't find it?"

"You're still not convinced when you say you're an idiot, are you?"

Lord Zhen ignored Wang Yu's bleeding hand, stood up, took two steps forward and was kicked to the ground by Wang Yu.

"Your Majesty has not established a crown prince for so long, why do you think that is?"

"Why did he frequently praise the second prince some time ago?"

"Idiot thing, can't even see this?"

Bleeding and being kicked, Wang Yu, who was suffering from pain, became more and more unconvinced at this moment.

"So what if you see it?"

"Your Majesty is just struggling to die. If he disagrees with what the Duke of Zhenguo thinks, he has to agree."

"We were able to lift him up at the beginning, but now we can pull him down."

When Wang Yu said this, the undisguised disdain and contempt in his eyes made Zhen Guogong's forehead full of veins.

Just now, his disdain was for competing for Lu Yaoyao, that's fine, a mere township lord, their town government is indeed qualified to look down on him.

But now, his disdain is aimed at today's world.

How inflated is this?

"shut up."

With a roar, Duke Zhen grabbed Wang Yu and slapped him.

The force was so fierce that not only instantly made Wang Yu's fair little face red and swollen, but even the corners of his mouth were split open.

"Okay, you bastard who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth."

"How dare you say such treasonous words, today the old man pulled out your tongue, so that you will not be able to speak in the future."

Zhen Guogong was really shocked and angry. They could disdain His Majesty in their hearts, but they must not say it out loud.

The emperor is always the emperor, no matter how powerful they are, they are still courtiers.

Emperor Hongwen depended on their Zhen Guo Gongfu to get to where he is today, but if they want to pull him down, it is not as easy as lip service.

If the name is not right and the words are not right, then it is seeking to usurp the throne. There are many people in the world, why not spray their Wang family to death?

There are many people following them, but are they all loyal?

That's not always the case, they may follow suit in other matters, but if they try to usurp the throne, this is a matter that will destroy the nine clans, will they really be hot-headed and continue to follow?

When that time really comes, I'm afraid that at least half, or even more than half of the people in their hands will not follow, and even turn against each other.

Coupled with the appeal of the royal family, what kind of situation will be waiting for them?
