The Kings Fight for the Throne] Chapter 2: Women Are Not Married (Free Chapter

Emperor Hongguang personally went to Liu Zongzhou's mansion to pay condolences. Liu Zongzhou was a relatively upright person. He worked diligently for more than 20 years in charge of the Inspectorate and was a model for all officials. He also handled several major cases and made great efforts to eliminate officials. After Emperor Hongguang came out of the Liu Mansion, he immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites to formulate the posthumous title of Liu Zongzhou and rewarded Liu Zongzhou's son Liu Zai to mourn for three thousand silver dollars, etc.

One carrot and one pit, Liu Zongzhou was dead, and the supervisory authority could not be without one, but who could take care of this lack? Emperor Hongguang had no idea. As the saying goes, it is difficult to know people, it is difficult to employ people, and it is even more difficult to know people and be good at placing them. The older generation of ministers are outside, shouldering heavy burdens, and the rising stars cannot bear such burdens, which really makes Emperor Hongguang embarrassed.

The two more suitable candidates that Emperor Hongguang thought of were Fu Yun and Ding Qirui. Fu Yun was more suitable for this position, but Fu Yun had too close relationships with Gao Di, Fu Shan and others. He must not expand his influence when dealing with such relatives. Although Ding Qirui was a little worse in ability, he did not have so much entanglement of interests. At this time, it would be better to use Ding Qirui too much. "Tian Rong, I have planned an order to order Ding Qirui to go to Beijing immediately to take over as the Left Commander of the Inspectorate. As for the governor of Guangxi, his deputy will take over!"

Tian Rong responded, "Emperor, the Imperial Concubine asks the emperor if he will go to Xianfu Palace for dinner tonight." Tian Rong said as he looked at Emperor Hongguang's face from the corner of his eyes.

"Okay, let's have a meal at Xianfu Palace in the evening! In addition, you can arrange it tomorrow that I will visit Qian Qianyi's mansion and let all the family members of Qian's mansion avoid it." Thinking of Qian Qianyi, the seriously ill Emperor Hongguang, felt a little uncomfortable, and was planning to take Xiaoai to take a look tomorrow. I believe that even if he didn't mention it, Xiaoai would mention this matter. After all, the two of them had such a past. People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless?

Xianfu Palace was busy. Everyone knew that the emperor was coming to have dinner at night, and the Han sisters, who were in their early thirties, were joking with their daughter. Han Shuang liked to tease Wenting the most. "Wenting, are you anxious? Chunyu has never gotten married, but it has delayed our Wenting!"

Wenting's face turned red, "The mother always jokes with her daughter, but her daughter ignores you." Wenting and Zhu Ci are the common children of the Han sisters, so they are naturally much closer than others.

Han Shuang smiled, "I am the only one of you, a baby girl. I am not like your third brother. I read military books and strategies all day long, and I don't fight anymore. He just likes those things. Maybe your father will bring your third brother into the army one day. Then you will have to let your mother tease me!" Han Shuang felt that his son was not like him at all, and he was thinking about how to fight all day long. In her opinion, they were all talking about war on paper.

Emperor Hongguang came in and heard Han Shuang's words, "Isn't I still there? Ci? I like military books and war strategies, there is nothing wrong with it. I am preparing to let Ci? Go and practice with Jin Shenghuan."

Han Dan was reluctant when he heard this. Jin Shenghuan is now the head of the Mongolian Production and Construction Corps. She didn't want to send her son to the uninhabited grassland. "Your Majesty, don't you allow me to tell Ci? I'll tell you about this, otherwise I won't agree." Han Dan knew that if her son heard it, she would definitely be happy to go!

Emperor Hongguang knew what she was thinking when she heard Han Dan's words, "Dandan doesn't have to worry. Jin Shenghuan will come back in a while. Wang Deren will take over the affairs of Mongolia. Wait for Jin Shenghuan to come back to let Ci? Follow him for a few days to save him from being idle." Emperor Hongguang formulated a series of measures to prevent generals from gaining troops. Every two years, middle and higher-level officers in various places may be rotated. The only one who can command the army is the emperor's order.

Han Shuang invited Emperor Hongguang to have dinner today, for the sake of his son. Concubine Kang Liu Rushi's son was already named King of Chu last year, and his son was still a prince. Although the other concubines and princes didn't say anything, why was she the imperial concubine! She couldn't help but think, "Emperor, Ci? Not young anymore. She has been studying with ministers such as Fu Shan and Wang Duo since she was a child. Should the emperor let Ci? Do something?"

Emperor Hongguang knew that he had given the eldest son the title of king last year. His wives didn't say anything on the surface, and they all had their own little ones in their hearts. They were all guessing whether they wanted to be appointed Ci? The prince. Yes, Emperor Hongguang did love his eldest son and Liu Rushi, but it was just emotional love. The matter of establishing a crown prince is of great importance. You cannot act on your emotions. You must choose a qualified heir. Otherwise, after the revival, it will decline in two lifetimes, which is too much.

"Shuang'er, isn't I biased, Ci? I'm still young and unstable, so I should study for a few more years. Ci? I've been steady and mature since I was a child. In comparison, among the few children, I'm the most at ease, otherwise I wouldn't let him leave the palace to live. If Ci? Go out, I won't make a fuss!" Among the few sons, the third brother is the most naughty, very much like Shuang'er's ghost elves back then, and it will take several years to let him go out.

Han Dan felt that Emperor Hongguang was right, Ci? It is the most difficult among the many princes to train, and she couldn't bear to let Ci go out, "What the emperor said is that when Changning Hou comes back, let Changning Hou train well."

Emperor Hongguang went to Changchun Palace after dinner at Xianfu Palace and found that Liu Rushi and his daughter were having a heart-to-heart talk. When Liu Rushi saw her husband coming in, he sent his daughter away. "Your Majesty, look, Chunyu is already a big old man. If you don't look for someone, you will become an old girl. Although the emperor's daughter has no worries about marrying, you can't drag it like this! I know that the emperor is reluctant to marry her daughter, and I am the same. But men are married as big as women are married, so it's not good to hold them in my arms all the time."

Emperor Hongguang really loves his daughter Chunyu and is really reluctant to marry her daughter. However, in later generations, she was still in school at the age of twenty! Where can I get married? But this era is not the case. At the age of twenty, she is the mother of several children. "Xiaoai said that I once had a verbally engagement with Gao Di, but this engagement seems to be impossible now. Although Gao Di is not close to Shufei and others on the surface, I know that he is still looking towards Shufei and Ci Jiong in his heart. If I marry Chunyu into the Gao family, I will be even more confused. Chunyu is still young! I am only twenty, so don't worry."

Liu Rushi thought to himself, you are not anxious, I am anxious! Besides, Wenting is only one year younger than Chunyu. If she gets stuck, she will look good, and the emperor's daughter will not marry.

Emperor Hongguang saw Liu Rushi pouting and came to her and held her in his arms. "Tian Rong said at noon that Qian Qianyi was seriously ill. I am going to see him with you tomorrow. What do you think?"

Liu Rushi said ah and paused, "Well! It's good to go and take a look. I always feel that I owe him in my heart, but... But if I appear in the Qian Mansion...!" After all, the incident of Liu Rushi pretending to die and entering the palace is a secret. If he appears in the Qian Mansion alive, it will not be blown away!

"I have asked Tian Rong to arrange it, no one will know." Emperor Hongguang saw Liu Rushi's concern, "He has done a lot of things over the years, especially in terms of knowledge. My children have learned a lot of good talent from him." Emperor Hongguang has always praised Qian Qianyi's talent. The prince's teaching class teachers are the most dedicated to Qian Qianyi. The literature knowledge of several princes is inseparable from Qian Qianyi's teaching.

Tian Rong's arrangement was indeed very thoughtful. The Qian Mansion avoided it. Only Qian Qianyi's bedroom was left with a young maid who was left behind. When Emperor Hongguang and Liu Rushi came in, Qian Qianyi struggled to sit up with a sick body, "Listen to General Manager Tian... I said that the emperor was coming to visit... The old minister... I can't afford it..."

Emperor Hongguang came over and sat in front of Qian Qianyi's bed and greeted Liu Rushi, "Your dear words are so serious. You and my monarch and minister have been there for so many years. Life is short, and it's over in a blink of an eye. I am at this age! Xiaoai, come and sit down!"

Liu Rushi looked at Qian Qianyi who was a little distorted, and felt sad. If this old man hadn't given him a conspiracy to give him to Cui Lang, he would not have the happiness he is today. "Master, thank you, I'm thankful..." After saying some sad words, Liu Rushi found that Qian Qianyi winked at her. After saying that, she had lived together for several years. Liu Rushi knew that Qian Qianyi had something to say to the emperor, so she left the room to see the yard where she lived.

Qian Qianyi took a few breaths, "Emperor...the princes have grown up. Aside from the children's princes, the five princes of the emperor are already over 18 years old. The emperor should consider the issue of becoming a crown prince."

Emperor Hongguang breathed a sigh of relief, "I have thought about this problem and discussed with my dear ministers that the princes' feudal system will no longer be possible. Now it is mainly to see which prince can take my burden. Although Lao Wu and the others are not small, they are far from mature. I am in good health. It will take several years to become a crown prince. They have to exercise, otherwise they will not be able to see who can do it!"

Qian Qianyi nodded repeatedly, "It's good that the emperor thinks about this, but the old minister still has something to say. The old minister serves as teachers for these princes. The princes have a little understanding of the temperament and nature. Needless to say, the King of Chu is very steady and generous. The second prince has the highest talent, which may be because Fu Shan is careful to teach! The third prince is brave and warlike, but he is not lacking in strategy; the fourth prince is the smartest and comprehensive, while the fifth prince is cautious and never ostentatious. It can be said that each has his own strengths and shortcomings, but the old minister thinks that the King of Chu and the Fifth prince will have a future...!"

Qian Qianyi suddenly talked about Emperor Hongguang's heart. Yes, the fifth prince Zhu Cixuan was trained by Concubine Jing Bai Jing, and was also the son that Emperor Hongguang could not see through the most. It seems that Qian Qianyi, a teacher, has not taught him in vain for years, and the situation of the princes is not bad at all.
