Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 69
When the old King Zou returned to Chang'an City from Lingnan, where he was exiled, he was already in his 30s and his health was not good.

He recuperated for two years before marrying his original wife.However, the other party's health was not very good. The couple stayed together for several years due to illness. After three children died, the first Princess Zou died of depression.

The second Princess Zou was in good health, but she had no choice but to give birth to three daughters one after another, but she never had a son.The three daughters are still healthy, and after they got married, they gave birth to a large number of grandchildren and grandchildren for Old Zou Wang.

The second Concubine Zou died of illness about ten years ago, and the old King Zou never continued after that.It is not that he has no sons under his knees. He has two concubines who have given birth, and one of them gave birth to a son, and he asked him to make him a child.Now, his concubine also has several sons. It is said that the eldest son is quite intelligent and physically strong, and he is one of the most outstanding young talents in the clan.However, since he was born in a common family, no one can say whether he will be able to inherit Prince Zou's mansion in the future.

Anyway, King Zou has been trying to ask his only son to be the heir king for many years, but he has never been successful.Every time Zongzhengsi called back his application, he used the excuse that his son was a concubine.And the old Ruren who gave birth to this son was originally a concubine, but in fact, she was born as a Hakka girl, her status was only a little higher than that of a maidservant, so Feng Ruren was already a mighty emperor, so how could he dare to think more?
Old Zou Wang looked at the family property he had accumulated over the past few decades, how could he be willing to give it up to others?Let your own flesh and blood be wronged and wronged to be a county duke, and the grandson's title will be even lower. Once he dies, they will have to move out of the home where they grew up and live in poverty?This time, he made up his mind that he would rather be criticized for marrying a Hakka woman than to help the child, so that his son can turn himself into a legitimate son, and his eldest grandson can inherit the family business in a legitimate way.

There are several families in the clan who are in a similar situation to him, and he has drawn them to be allies.In order to ensure the emperor's approval, he even found a favorite minister as an introduction-An Lushan, the envoy of Fan Yang Jiedu, intends to ask for the title of Mrs. Duan for his second wife, and his original wife Kang has not yet been titled.Kang gave birth to two sons for An Lushan, but because he was not favored, he was about to be stepped on by his second wife.If the emperor could agree to An Lushan's request in this way, then for the sake of the succession rights of the sons, the clans wanted to right the concubine's room with sons after the death of their wives, so why couldn't they get permission?
Little Gao Lishi whispered to Li Lijun that this matter was actually him beating the side drums for the old King Zou in front of the imperial court, and the matter was almost finished.The main reason was that the emperor wanted to confirm the physical condition of the old King Zou. If his condition was really bad, the emperor would not deny this kind of grace because of the loyalty of the elders of the clan for many years.

If the old King Zou's request is approved, most of the other clan and royal family members who have also submitted a letter of request will be able to take a ride.

The Sui Palace was originally not in it, but if the heir Wang Li Dai lost his wife, in order to ensure a healthy son to inherit the title, he wrote a letter requesting that his concubine, Xiao Yang, who was born in a famous family and was of the same family as the imperial concubine, be righted. Without help from others, it is hard to say that Xiao Yang's plan will not succeed.Because there were so many hitchhikers, the emperor might not have noticed that Li Dai actually had an eldest son, and he might add another son after the continuation. If he didn't support the concubine's room, it wouldn't affect the succession of the title.This must be Xiao Yang's purpose, right?

Because of Chen Weng's relationship, little Gao Lishi also has a friendship with old Zou Wang, but he seldom communicates in private.This time he ran errands for the old King Zou, outsiders don't know, at most, the children and grandchildren of King Zou heard some rumors.But they only hope that things will be successful as soon as possible, and there is absolutely no reason to leak secrets to the outside world indiscriminately.Therefore, the little Gao Lishi is still at a loss now, and he plans to find an opportunity to ask the old King Zou.Don't make any sudden changes when things are about to succeed.

Li Lijun knew that this matter was probably a success in the "previous life", so Li Wenqi, an insider, brought it up in front of Xiao Yang.And Xiao Yang intends to take advantage of this opportunity, first kill Chen to free up his wife's position, and then use Li Lijun's relationship with Xiao Gaolishi to let the latter count her as one of the members of the hitchhiker.Li Yanjun volunteered to do things for her mother, but she couldn't hold back her anger. After being rejected by Li Lijun, she said anything unscrupulously. Afterwards, she wanted to kill people to silence her, but she exposed herself instead, which eventually led to the destruction of Xiao Yang's family.

So, you really can't be too greedy.Want everything, the result is very likely to get nothing.

After Li Lijun wanted to understand what was going on, it was inconvenient to tell little Gao Lishi clearly, so he could only say: "No matter where Xiao Yang got the news, she wanted to take advantage of the loophole, but now her plan has come to nothing. Uncle don't need to talk about this matter." Take it to heart, do what you have to do. Old Zou Wang is determined to pave the way for his eldest grandson. Even if we don’t care about the old love, we just want to help him catch the murderer who killed A Niang. Bundle."

Little Gao Lishi nodded: "That's exactly the reason. Even if I didn't know in advance that he would catch the murderer, just because of his relationship with Chen Weng, I will definitely do my best for him." He said to Li Lijun, "The imperial concubine's will After that, Yang Yuying's case has come to a conclusion, and you don't need to worry about anything else in the future. If the third lady bullies you again, you can just use the airs of a prostitute and refute it back. Even the eldest lady, there is no reason to blame Yang Yuying. The family is her illegitimate family, so you will belittle your mother and you. If they dare to come, you can go and complain to the prince and concubine, even if the heir finds out, he will not disobey the imperial concubine's will."

Li Lijun smiled wryly: "So what if the imperial concubine has a will? She must still be partial to the Yang family in her heart. It's just because Xiao Yang's case is too big, she rewarded me with so many things to appease me. If I take this For this decree, I asked Aye to stand on my side to punish the two sisters, I am afraid that it is I who will humiliate myself."

Little Gao Lishi shook his head with a smile: "You are thinking wrong. The imperial concubine is actually a good person and reasonable. She is different from her brothers and sisters. This time she really feels sorry for you, so she has the heart to reward you more." Shi, I hope you can forget the pain of your mother's death as soon as possible, and live in peace. The Yang family may still want to preserve Yang Yuying's reputation, and then keep Shiro's inheritance qualifications. But if the imperial concubine orders, they must get rid of Yang Yuying and Yang Shuo family, Shiro is no longer the noble son of Hongnong Yang's daughter. How can the son of a criminal concubine match the position of prince? This has greatly disturbed the calculations of the Yang family. I am afraid they are also worried at this moment. !"

Li Lijun was surprised.Is Yang Guifei actually such a person?

Little Gaolishi said again: "Yang Yuying's direct brothers are definitely reluctant to lose the throne of the Sui king. If your eldest brother's health has been poor, they must make another idea, maybe they will marry another daughter to come in as a wife and concubine It's all possible. At that time, there will be another turmoil in the back house of the Sui Prince's Mansion. You are still young, and you don't have the favor of an heir. Put your heart into eating, drinking and having fun. I think Princess Dou treats you well. She has always held herself upright. She is a benevolent elder. You can get closer to her. No matter what the successor king says, as long as Sui Wang and his wife are willing to protect you, you are at home You can live in peace.”

Li Lijun nodded silently.

Then, she looked up at little Gao Lishi, and asked him a question with an expression that seemed to be casual: "Uncle, the Fan Yang Jiedu envoy you mentioned just now, does the sage favor him very much? The sage will agree to whatever he asks for? "
