Chapter 443: Another Crown Prince?
Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, the school inspector Sikong, Guanglu Qing Chai Shouli drank too much again and fell drunk in the private room of the restaurant. He had heard about Guo Rong's illness for a long time, but could not visit him. Because the emperor was no longer his son Chai Rong, he changed his surname to Guo, and his biological father was called uncle by his biological son!
After Guo Rong ascended the throne and became emperor, Chai Shouli never went to Kaifeng Prefecture again and lived in Luoyang. In fact, he could only do this. According to the etiquette at that time, Chai Shouli, as the uncle of the country, had to kneel down when he saw the emperor. However, in terms of relatives and filial piety, he was the emperor's biological father, and his father knelt down to his son, and Yu Li was not in harmony. Therefore, Chai Shouli would rather act recklessly with Wang Pu, Han Lingkun and others in Luoyang, and had no scruples, and gained the nickname of "Ten A Fathers" than go to Kaifeng Prefecture to enjoy the treatment of the country's uncle. However, on this day, Chai Shouli had the idea of entering the capital, because he heard Wang Pu's father Wang Zuo say that Guo Rong had appointed Guo Xin as the King of Jin and was the King of Kaifeng Prefecture, which means that if there is no change, Guo Xin will inherit the throne a hundred years later!
Chai Shouli, who was drunk and saved, was indignant. It would be fine if you Guo Wei stole one of my sons. Now your mentally retarded son Guo Xin is going to steal the throne left by my son again. This is really a bit too much. This is how Chai Shouli doesn't think about it. If Guo Wei hadn't adopted him, how could his son Chai Rong become emperor?
The more Chai Shouli thought about it, the more angry he became. The more he drank, the more he drank, and as the alcohol increased, the more angry he became. When the restaurant closed, Chai Shouli, who was drunk, was sent back to the house by the restaurant. Chai Shouli's wife Wang frowned and said, "Husband, why have you drunk so much wine to death!"
Chai Shouli burped a strong burp and said the matter drunkenly. Wang thought to himself and whispered to Chai Shouli: "Husband. The eldest son (Chai Rong) has never had children, so he had no choice but to make Guo Xin the King of Jin. If he had children, then what would be the mentally retarded in the throne?! The second son has two grandsons at home. The eldest son, Chai Zongxun, has been smart and cute since childhood, and is now six years old. Can he let him inherit the eldest son's throne?"
Chai Shouli shook his head repeatedly. "What you said is light. The boss is now inheriting the Guo family. He has not made many contributions before he ascended the throne, and he could not suppress the ministers for a time, so he naturally could not add his surname. He is now a member of the Guo family, how could he let our Chai family ascend the throne?!"
Wang smiled and whispered: "Let Zongxun change his surname to Guo and give it to the boss for adoption. Anyway, everyone is a family, just change his surname, and then change it back when Zongxun grows up! The boss has ambitions, and I don't think he is willing to hand over the throne to a fool!"
When Chai Shouli heard this, he felt aroused. If what Wang said really could come true, his descendants would become members of the royal family. It can be said that they had laid the foundation for respect for decades or even hundreds of years! Thinking of this, Chai Shouli was even more excited and hurriedly ordered people to get sober stones, make sober soup, and sat upright behind the table to write a letter to Chai Rong who had not been in contact for a long time. After the letter was written, Chai Shouli immediately sent his confidant family to Kaifeng Mansion with a quick horse and whip, and changed horses along the way but not people. He was sent to Chai Rong Palace as fast as possible.
A few days later, Guo Rong received the letter. He frowned and looked at the signature on the envelope, and was very hesitant. Chai Shouli was drunk at the time. Although he had to sober up, he was still a little dizzy. The signature on the cover even showed that his letter was written to his son Chai Rong, not to Emperor Guo Rong.
Guo Rong hesitated for a while, but opened the letter. After he read the letter several times, he was still a little moved. It would be a pity to leave the beautiful country he had to be ruined by a fool! But if he adopted Chai Zongxun, he would have to face the counterattack of the Guo family forces in the court! Guo Xin could also ignore it, but there are so many veteran generals in the court, and their pressure must not be ignored! But Guo Rong was afraid of whom. If Chai Zongxun was so smart and cute, wise and courageous as the letter said, then he would rather adopt him than destroy his country on a fool!
After thinking about it, Guo Rong called Qiao Menglai, the head of the guard on duty, and said to him: "Ameng, can I trust you?"
Qiao Meng immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The life of the last general is saved by Your Majesty. I am willing to fight for Your Majesty in all directions, and I will die!"
Guo Rong smiled slightly. Qiao Meng had made a big mistake in the past and should be executed according to the law. Guo Rong personally pardoned him because of his good martial arts and loyalty. Guo Rong lowered his voice and said, "It's a big deal. I will only tell you once. Zong Xun, a son of the Chai family in Luoyang, is only six years old. It is said that he is smart and cute. Take my handwriting and go to Luoyang to bring him back quietly, so don't let outsiders know!"
Qiao Meng was shocked. He was not a fool either. Knowing the significance of Guo Rong's move, Qiao Meng didn't dare to say much, but just kowtowed to answer the order.
Soon, Guo Rong wrote an edict himself and handed it to Qiao Meng. Since there was no deputy signing of the center, this edict was just Guo Rong's hand-in edict, and it was not as good as an imperial edict. Qiao Meng didn't dare to look at it anymore. He glanced at him quickly and stuffed the edict into his arms. He kowtowed at Guo Rong, then turned around and left.
Guo Rong's health has improved slightly now. Whether it is a return or treatment, it is a little better than before, and he can handle national affairs every day. Therefore, Qiao Meng's sudden departure from Beijing did not attract everyone's attention. After all, Shu was unstable these days, and Guo Rong sent people to contact the generals of the frontier almost every day.
A few days passed quickly, and the waves in Luoyang City were calm. Chai Shouli was like eating candied dates and laughed non-stop every day. Wang was surprised and asked in confusion: "Husband, isn't your letter without any response? Why are you still so happy?"
Chai Shouli smiled and said, "How can you know when you wait for the woman? If the boss (Chai Rong) opposed my proposal, he would have issued a secret decree to rebuke me, or sent someone to warn me. The calm now is just a sign that the boss is moved! Maybe the secret envoy who announced the decree is on the way, how could I be unhappy?!"
After hearing what Chai Shouli said, Wang was so happy that he laughed. In the evening, there was still no news. Chai Shouli went to the restaurant he knew and drank with Wang Zuo and others. Because of his happiness, Chai Shouli was not good at drinking, and soon got drunk. As the saying goes, he could not hide the truth after drinking, and told him that his grandson might ascend to the throne and become emperor.
The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Wang Zuo was shocked and quickly wrote a letter to his son Wang Puxiu to verify quickly. He also consulted Wang Pu's opinion, whether he wanted to participate in it? This is a great contribution to support him! (To be continued...)
