Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 71 The Queen Mother is immortal (71)

As the prince left the core of the government, undercurrents immediately surged among various forces. Even Emperor Jianyuan began to promote some officials who were not from the prince's lineage, intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, Jiang Chong and others.

Want to use this to dilute the influence of the princelings.

He probably felt that he was still young and could live for a long time. After all, he had already far outlived his father and grandfather, and he might be able to live as long as his imperial grandmother. In this case, a young and strong prince would be very important to him. For him, it's not a good thing.

At this time, the relationship between the emperor and the prince was less like an orderly inheritance, and more similar to the struggle between the old and new wolves. As an old wolf, the emperor was very worried that he would be particularly miserable if he lost the position of the wolf. At the same time, he also felt that he was young and incompetent. Zhuang's son is coveting his position. How can they live in harmony with each other?
  Of course, the most important thing is that Emperor Jianyuan felt that his son was not like him, not that he didn't look like him, but mainly because he felt that he had a different personality and that the son was not worthy of his father.

He made the same mistake as his biological father again, because he felt that the prince was not like him, and wanted to change the prince. It was just because the princelings had made too much contribution. Wei Huo's position in the entire military class was unshakable, and they were also very disciplined. There is nothing wrong with the law, and there is really no excuse.

For now, he can't do anything unwarranted.

Therefore, we can only weaken the prince's power tactfully.

But fortunately, among the two leading figures of the princelings, Huo Qubing, who has a bad temper, has left Chang'an and followed the prince Liu Zhi out of Chang'an, while Wei Qing is very calm and has not been affected by these changes. His emotions are still the same. Respond calmly and advance and retreat in a controlled manner.

On the other hand, Chen Ajiao would complain to Bai Sheng when nothing happened. She felt that her ex-husband and his cousin were too much. When Wei Qing was needed, he would give him whatever he asked for, and when he was not needed, he would make things difficult for him. Although he was in court, It was the Li family and the Wang family who were making things difficult for the impeachment, but everyone knew that they relied on the favored Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang. Who would believe that Emperor Jianyuan was not indulgent?
  "Well, if it doesn't work, just ask him to retire. The Ai family has also read the pulse record that the imperial doctor checked for him last time. If this continues, Wei Qing may not be alive for long.

Originally, his body had a lot of hidden injuries and old ailments due to years of fighting, and he had not been able to properly recuperate them. Now fighting in the court is very troublesome. If he wants to live for a few more years, it is best to worry less and recuperate his body more. You can even go out for sightseeing together.

Anyway, his son is not young anymore, so there is no need for him to support him all the time. For Liu Ju, his uncle will live for more than ten or twenty years, which is far more than helping him support him at the front of the court for three to five years. The effect is greater. "

Years of fighting can keep a few people healthy, so Bai Sheng's persuasion is indeed out of good intentions.

"I thought so, but he always felt that the eldest son was not stable enough, and he was also worried about his sister. He felt that if he really stepped down, life would only become more difficult for his sister and his nephew, so he has been struggling to hold on all these years.

His other nephew, Champion Hou, was good at fighting, but in other aspects, especially court battles, it would be an exaggeration to say he was clueless, but he wasn't that smart either.

My cousin is not a kind-hearted person. Just like you said, he is mean and ungrateful. Alas, I am really walking on thin ice now. Only with you here can I feel a little more comfortable and safe. Otherwise, I would probably be like Wei Qing. Sometimes it's like that, sometimes I'm so worried that I can't sleep! "

As she gets older, has lived a long time, and has seen many things, Chen Ajiao will naturally no longer be as naive as before, complaining about whether she can retire or not.

She knew it.

"You don't have to worry too much. As long as the Ai family is here and the Wei family doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, the Ai family will be able to keep you safe. Besides, sometimes retreat is a good idea!"

Bai Sheng could feel the anxiety in his granddaughter's heart, so he gave special assurance. And by the way, I gave some advice.

With her here and her support, Liu Zhi's position as crown prince can be said to be very secure, and there is no need to worry at all.

Unless Emperor Jianyuan can survive her, but is it possible?

Just kidding, even if Bai Sheng really lives to the limit of this body, she still has many ways to use her talents and the power of time to help her live longer.

It just depends on whether she is willing to pay the price.

But it's a pity that Chen Ajiao doesn't believe it. She thinks that if her royal grandmother lives over a hundred years old, she is approaching her limit.

After all, in the past history, the only real longevity people in this dynasty lived to be over a hundred years old. What's the use of her imperial grandmother's guarantee? If her husband Wei Qing retires, her imperial grandmother will pass away. Who can we count on? Can we count on Emperor Jianyuan to miss his old love? Besides, it’s easy to retreat, but it’s not that easy to go back.

Therefore, Chen Ajiao didn't take Bai Sheng's words to heart. She just responded with a few perfunctory words, then changed the subject and chatted about other matters.

But Bai Sheng did not pursue persuasion.

The two were chatting, and Wei Zifu also came in and joined the conversation. She was too old to be favored, and the emperor did not necessarily visit her every month, and his children could not enter the palace often, so many years ago, Wei Zifu My husband would often come over to say hello, and chat with Bai Sheng, or talk to Bai Sheng, to pass the boring time.

After so many years, when she and Chen Ajiao met again, there was no longer any embarrassment. The two chatted quite happily. After chatting for several hours, seeing that the sky was getting dark, they all stood up and said goodbye.

By talking to Bai Sheng or her own mother, Chen Ajiao was able to relieve her inner worries and depression. However, her biological mother, Liu Piao, was old after all. Less than half a year later, the eldest princess, Mrs. Dou, , passed away in his sleep one day, not from illness or sudden death, but from old age. Eighty years old, in this day and age, is considered a long life.

The death of Liu Piao instantly made Chen Ajiao realize that she was no longer young. She was already sixty and it was hard to say how long she could live. In addition, her husband Wei Qing fell seriously ill while attending to the funeral of his mother, which made her realize that her imperial grandmother's words might be right, and Wei Qing's body could no longer work hard.

So what if the eldest son is unstable?

Wei Qing can't live forever!
  Children will eventually need to be self-reliant in the future.

Out of heartache and fear that Wei Qing would die soon, Chen Ajiao went to see Bai Sheng several times about this matter, and had in-depth conversations with her for a long time. Then she went back to communicate with Wei Qing for a long time, and finally convinced Wei Qing to let her go. He agreed to cooperate and retreat from the court.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ajiao went to the doctor's house with great fanfare and invited several elders to consult with Wei Qing, and customized a conditioning plan for him, and used this as an excuse to resign and recuperate.
