445: Royal Gossip
"There is still the case?"
Pei Ye pretended not to know, so he asked Qin Shao to continue to reveal his gossip.
The young people have seen too few routines, so they will continue to do it naturally.
"... Some rumors in the market are not very good. They say that His Majesty can become the crown prince all depends on his luck and the right time to be born."
Pei Ye can't understand now.
"Pick the right time?"
Qin Shao lowered his voice, afraid that the third person would hear what he said.
"The late emperor left many children in his life, and there were more than one legitimate prince. Only His Majesty is about the same age as the old daughter of Shizong. There are rumors in the market that His Majesty had the opportunity to fall into the eyes of the late emperor and Shizong and was made the crown prince by marrying the daughter of Shizong."
With today's trend, which man likes to hear that his foundation is obtained through women?
Especially when your abilities are mediocre and your wife is outstanding.
After hearing that after Shizong abdicated, many old ministers were thinking about her various good things. When they saw that Shizong's old women were so talented, they looked at the mediocre talent of the inner crown prince, soft-tempered temperament, and did not inherit the wisdom and decisiveness of their ancestors at all, some ministers became other thoughts...
Qin Shao's grandfather also had the idea of electing the then "Emperor Rouyi" as the crown prince, and it seemed that the ancestor had also had this idea.
It’s a pity that the last emperor is His Majesty now.
Pei Ye nodded when he heard this, roughly understood the entanglements of the previous generation of the Chaoxia royal family.
Although the Empress of Shizong and the Last Emperor were siblings, they were seventeen years apart, almost one generation apart.
The former is both sister and mother to the latter.
Their good relationship does not mean that their descendants have a good relationship.
Not everyone can be as broad-minded as Sejong when it comes to the battle for royal power.
This Sejong...
It is probably also a psychological shadow of one or two generations.
"...I guess... His Majesty has a bad sense of Sejong, right?"
Qin Shao's face turned pale in fear.
"Sir, these words cannot be said randomly."
Pei Ye said indifferently: "Anyway, no one else heard it. You know, I know, heaven, earth, and know."
Qin Shao looked around secretly and continued to whisper when he found that no one noticed this.
"Your Majesty respects Sezong very much, but... there is still a difference between sincere respect and superficial skills."
As long as etiquette cannot be found, who can pursue what he thinks?
"After that, the daughter of Shizong, "Emperor Princess Rouyi" married Your Majesty, and Your Majesty was officially appointed as the crown prince. Perhaps in order to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, and to avoid suspicion, after the wedding, "Emperor Princess Rouyi" only showed up for important banquets and rituals. The court officials were disappointed, so they treated Your Majesty with stricter standards. Unfortunately, even the Princess Rouhui Chang, who had been raised by Shizong for several years, was better than Your Majesty."
Your Majesty is also a very miserable man now.
The aunt and mother-in-law are the king, the father is barely considered platinum, but his wife is recognized as the star. The concubine's sister also climbs into diamonds under the guidance of the king, but he is the only one - from childhood to teenager, from teenager to youth, from youth to middle age - from stubborn bronze to silver.
Therefore, after ascending the throne, His Majesty was not happy with his sister Rouhui Chang's daughter.
There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate, and they are not brothers and sisters of the same mother, so it is not too convenient to make small trips.
He said that he couldn't bear to marry his sister from afar, so he wanted to point to her a husband who was gentle and considerate and cared for her.
What about it in fact?
The Rouhui Chang Emperor, who was raised by Shizong for several years, does not mention his ability, but he will never like such an incompetent man.
Use his own refutation of His Majesty's words—
She has a gentle personality and considerate care. There are so many servants in the Changdiji Mansion!
But my arms can't twist my thighs.
She, a concubine's eldest princess, cannot control her legitimate brother's choice.
Emperor Rouhui Chang also beat the other party to a disabled person because her husband was jealous of the brothel and was sued by the censor. Emperor Rouhui Chang Chang was named "unregulated" and "suppose his husband commits a murderer". He lost his real power in the court and became a idle royal family who could only earn a salary and relied on fief tax revenue to support the family and young. Since then, Emperor Chang has raised a couple in the mansion and ignored her husband's love.
"Build a dough head? How many have you raised?"
"How could I know? I just heard the speculations from the public. There are seven or eight of them, not ten."
Pei Ye was shocked: "Ling Chao grew up in such an environment and did not change completely, ,/ state?"
She suddenly liked this live treasure a little.
Qin Shao used his light to secretly look at Ling Chao, who was looking dirty in the distance.
I sighed quite well.
"Yes, although Ling Chao is a bit messy on weekdays,... his life is not easy."
Perhaps the emperor also felt that the method of suppressing Emperor Rouhuichang was too despicable, and he was afraid that others would not let go of his concubines. Therefore, he has not criticized Emperor Rouhuichang for caring for so many people in recent years, so he chose to turn a blind eye.
After his nephew Ling Chao was born, His Majesty also favored him in every way and would give him generous rewards during festivals.
The brother and sister who had originally fallen to freezing point also eased.
However, His Majesty has many criminal records, and this behavior seems more like a praising and killing to many outsiders.
While speaking, the carriage and horses had already been parked outside the inn.
Tianmen Academy is surrounded by mountains and cliffs.
It was discovered by the first mountain chief of Tianmen Academy when he was studying abroad. At that time, the misty mountain mist was misty, forming a long gate to the sky, as if you could reach the legendary fairyland of paradise by passing through that gate. The mountain chief felt that there was such a wonder in the world, so he joked with his friend that he would build a school here in the future. So many years later, with the help of his friend, he built Tianmen Academy.
On the mountain path, more than a dozen carriages were moving slowly.
"Sir, further forward is the only way to the college - Tianmentai. There is a place to go up and down the mountain."
Qin Shao rode on the horse and watched the familiar scenery spread out in front of him, and his smile became stronger on the corners of his lips.
Tianmentai is a high platform with a octagonal shape as a whole. There is a naturally formed strange rock on it but resembles the heavens. A long monument stands beside the strange rocks, which reads "Heaven moves vigorously, a gentleman strives for self-improvement; the earth is quiet, and a gentleman carries things with virtue." There is another private seal.
Qin Shao introduced: "This seal belongs to Emperor Wuzong, and the words on it are also his ink treasure."
Tianmen Academy has a very good origin.
The founder was one of the confidants who assisted the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Wuzong, and was also a great tycoon who sponsored Wuzong's uprising.
The land deeds and construction costs of Tianmen Academy were all paid by Wuzong.
Wuzong's calligraphy and private seals can also be seen everywhere here.
No matter who it is, you have to walk a hundred meters in front of Tianmentai.
After passing Tianmentai, the mountain road winds upwards, winds downwards, crosses mountains and ridges...
Finally, I came to the foot of a mountain...
Pei Ye opened his dead fish eyes and said, "Then we will go to Tianmen Academy?"
Qin Shao smiled and said, "No—and then we will go to the thousand-story stone staircase and climb up with two legs. The Tianmen Academy is above."
Pei Ye: “…”
