After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Emperor Jing Yong looked at his son kneeling at his feet indifferently, without answering.

It's not that he didn't understand the true meaning of these three short words, on the contrary, Emperor Jing Yong knew it very well.

But it was because of this that he didn't bother to answer.

In the first year of Yuanyong, Emperor Jingyong was thirty and ascended the throne.

In order to show the benevolence of the emperor, most of the officials of the previous dynasty continued to use it, but in the first early dynasty, all officials jointly played a concert, asking Emperor Jingyong to hold a general election and recruit the harem.

When Emperor Jingyong was in charge of the government at the beginning, there were very few available and reliable people. In order to stabilize the situation, he had to respond.

Shortly after the general election, the prime minister of the current dynasty conspired with the six ministers to remonstrate with Empress De that she was not worthy of the position, and asked him to be abolished and re-established.

Although Emperor Jingyong designed to disintegrate the short-term alliance of the seven people, within a few months, the seven people once again persuaded the ministers of the court to remonstrate because he had no prince under his knees, which was not conducive to the stability of the court.

Emperor Jingyong was naturally unwilling.

He and the empress are young couples, the two share joys and sorrows, and they have gone through many ups and downs along the way. How can the friendship between them be compared to those later women?
In order to stabilize the government and check and balance the government and the opposition, his acceptance of the concubine is already a concession, the child...he only wants the queen to have a baby.

It is not worthy of those women who enter the palace for the sake of family power and wealth!
Of course, Emperor Jingyong knew that he could not give those women love, so as long as they and their mother's family did not deviate, he would be satisfied with the honor they deserved.

It's a pity that there are some things that he can't just do if he doesn't want to. When he is on the throne, there are times when he can't help himself.

Concubine De, who was only seventeen years old at the time, first entered the palace as Zhaoyi, and later was promoted to Concubine De, so smoothly, she thought she was invincible, but at the same time she developed a certain love for Emperor Jingyong.

But that bit of love is not worth mentioning in front of power.

Concubine De also wanted to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor.

At that time, Bian Ta was eyeing a tiger, and sent troops to massacre villages many times, causing heavy casualties to the people on the frontier. Emperor Jing Yong was unwilling to make peace, but he could fight...the treasury was empty.

The Minister of the Household Department took this opportunity to threaten the Ministry of Finance with no money...

The prime minister and the other five ministers were unwilling to let the Minister of the Ministry of Households win the first place, so they got involved one after another.

If Emperor Jingyong did not compromise, it would be the people in the frontier who would suffer.

Concubine De and the others in the harem felt relieved when they heard the news.

After the queen learned about this, she took the initiative to persuade her.

After all, in the eyes of the queen, she couldn't bear a son, and there was no need to prevent other concubines who could bear children from giving birth.

No matter who gave birth to the child, she must always be called the queen mother.

Emperor Jingyong had no choice but to compromise, but he was not completely subdued.

Good news soon came from the harem, but those who were pregnant were all low-ranking concubines.

However, how could Concubine De be able to bear to see herself marrying someone else? She conspired with the imperial concubine to murder those concubines who were pregnant.

At the beginning, Emperor Jingyong didn't even control the previous dynasty, and his control over the harem was even weaker. It was not easy to protect the queen.

As for the fetuses in the wombs of other concubines, although they can't be called favorites, they are his children after all, they died before they were born, it would be a lie to say that they are not uncomfortable.

But the imperial concubine and the concubine De are the daughter of the prime minister and the younger sister of the Minister of the Household Department.

Even if Emperor Jing Yong knew that it was the two who did it, he couldn't punish them. On the contrary, he had to act as if he didn't know anything and suppress the news.

Of course, it was impossible for Emperor Jingyong to let them get what they wanted. He worked hard and finally gave birth to the first prince, who was an inconspicuous talent in the palace.

Emperor Jingyong never wanted his mother to keep his son. He even drew up an imperial decree to promote the eldest prince's biological mother to the rank of concubine, so that the eldest prince could be raised by his biological mother.

However, Concubine De bewitched the concubine again, and with the help of the concubine, the eldest prince's biological mother died of postpartum hemorrhage.

Emperor Jingyong thought it was an accident because of his own defenses, but after learning the truth, before that, he had to stay at Concubine De's place for several nights because of the need for the Minister of the Household Department, so that Concubine De was pregnant. Just turned March.

Emperor Jingyong didn't want her to give birth, but Concubine De was very protective of her. In addition, there were many events in the previous court, so he couldn't take care of it. Concubine De successfully gave birth to the fourth prince.

Concubine De's crimes came first, so Emperor Jingyong naturally didn't like the fourth prince, but after all, he was his own child, as long as he kept his own place, although he would not get favoritism, he would still enjoy the honor he deserved as a prince.

Rear.

The empress hadn't given birth to a prince for a long time, and Emperor Jing Yong inevitably began to consider choosing one of the many princes to inherit the throne.

There are not many conditions for him to choose, but the most basic is to have a heart that loves the people like a child.

For the sake of assessment, Emperor Jingyong arranged for the princes of the right age to go to court for training.

Soon, Emperor Jingyong discovered the ambitions of the fourth prince and others.

But it doesn't matter, power is tempting, it's normal for a prince to have ambitions.

However, for the sake of that position, some princes corrupted the law and treated the common people as worthless...

How can such a prince be worthy of the honor they enjoy?

The Fourth Prince and Concubine De felt that he was unfair and cold-blooded, but in the beginning, Emperor Jing Yong was forced by the situation to accept the concubine and give birth to a son...

He also gave them a chance, but they were not righteous and greedy...

Emperor Jingyong was completely disappointed with them, and it happened that the empress gave birth to a son.

Emperor Jingyong pretended not to like it, and sent the seventeen princes to southern Xinjiang for training, and began to pave the way for him.

After the fraud case and the Jinzhou Great Khan corruption case, he gradually took control of the court, and revealed the news of his preference for Seventeen to other princes.

The eldest prince does not have a biological mother, he is honest and responsible, so he does not covet the throne at all.

The second prince had a wicked heart but no guts, and felt resentful when he learned about it, but he also suppressed it silently.

The third prince was born to Concubine Xian. As early as Emperor Jingyong took control of the government, Concubine Xian got a letter from his father, Minister of the Ministry of War. After learning about Emperor Jingyong's thoughts this time, he beat her son repeatedly to make him give up.

Not to mention the other princes, most of their mother's families were involved in the fraud case and the embezzlement case of Jinzhou Great Khan.

The prime minister was punished by the five clans, and the noble concubine who raised the seventh prince was bestowed to death, and the seventh prince was even demoted to a commoner, and was imprisoned in the clan's mansion for life.

Their mother and concubine and themselves were not implicated, it was a blessing, how could they dare to think about anything else.

Except for the fourth prince.

It is understandable for the fourth prince to hate Emperor Yong of Shangjing, but he should never be so bold as to use the iron produced by his private mines into weapons to collude with the enemy.

Today's court is already the court of Emperor Jingyong, he can no longer tolerate the behavior of the fourth prince, that's why today's incident...

Emperor Jingyong raised his hand slightly, and asked Fu Sheng to pick up the imperial decree that had been thrown on the ground.

The situation changed so fast, Fu Sheng still hadn't reacted, he was stunned in place, until he heard Emperor Jingyong's voice, he came back to his senses, his eyes swept across the rebels who were under control, he felt like crying impulse.

He thought he was dead!
Fu Sheng's body was still soft, when he picked up the imperial edict, he almost failed to pick it up.

"His Majesty…"

He trembled slightly, holding the imperial decree in both hands and handing it to Emperor Jingyong.

Emperor Jingyong raised his chin slightly, he came to understand, spread the imperial decree on the table, he glanced quickly, his hands trembling.

Emperor Jingyong picked up the jade seal found by the rebels without changing his face, and stamped it on it.

"Read it!"

He threw the edict to Fu Sheng and closed his eyes.

Fu Sheng seemed to have caught a hot potato, and his heart was in a mess.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and read aloud...
