There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 815|The seventieth dragon scale (nine)

The seventieth dragon scale (nine)

For the throne, the eldest prince is inevitable, but what troubles him most is the existence of Linglong. He knew that as long as this woman lived for a day, he would not be able to get what he wanted so quickly. In the past, there was still an uncle in the army who planned for him. After his uncle was exiled, his hands were unknowingly pulled out. If one does not stay, has no military power, can't speak in the army, can't get involved, how can one become emperor?

Should I keep flattering my father? Although the father is very kind to himself, what can the crown prince do if he does not make mistakes?

The eldest prince's staff had thought of ways to frame the crown prince, but the queen and Linglong kept the water tight, and the meticulous work they sent was caught before they could be carried out. As long as the prince is dead, and the queen is exquisite, who can say no? Once the prince dies, no matter from which perspective, the eldest prince should be established as the heir.

This is a good method, but there is no way to start, not only that, because Fu Linglong is deeply trusted by the emperor because of her daughter, the surface does not move at all, and she keeps making small movements in private. Come up, including the two iron mines he hid!

It would be great if it was revealed! These two iron mines are also the eldest prince's last trump card. When it comes to a critical moment, he doesn't mind using more drastic tactics to win.

After all, as long as you sit in that seat, it's not up to him to decide how the history books will record it?

Seeing that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, the crown prince is successfully supervising the country with the support of the father and daughter of the Chengguo. With a decisive emperor, it is not good news for the family. The eldest prince is so self-righteous and easy to fool. At that time, as long as he holds the offerings and uses the power of the United States to corrupt his will, the family will be able to prosper for another hundred years.

Most of those aides and officials who defected were related to the family. Even the people who served by the concubine and the eldest prince had infiltrated the family's eyes early. This mother and son seemed to have made a decision by themselves. In fact, it was all the result of the aristocratic family's deliberate temptation. It's a pity that they have already become puppets of the aristocratic family without knowing it.

Linglong naturally also played a role in fanning the flames. She is not as bright and upright as Duke Cheng, nor is she as kind-hearted as the Queen's concubine. For her, when necessary, in order to win, she can use some means that are not so high on the stage.

Why did the emperor value the great prince more than the prince? Isn't it because of the First Prince's "filial piety", "obedience" and "duty"? Different from the prince who will give advice, the emperor makes any decision, regardless of whether it is right or not. The first prince's first reaction is to blow the rainbow fart, while the prince is more pragmatic and stable. Over time, the emperor's heart will naturally be biased, and he is not no longer. He loves the prince, but compared to the increasingly tall prince, he sees himself in his waning years.

If the eldest son of "filial piety", "obedience" and "duty" forces the palace to rebel, what will the emperor do? The dragon chair under his **** can't even be coveted by his own crown prince. If the eldest prince not only covets it, but also stretches out his hand - what will happen to him?

The prince's character is more like the queen's concubine, and his determination will not change, and the eldest prince is worthy of being the emperor's eldest son. He is as soft-hearted as his own father, and his heart is moved by a little incitement.

Of course Linglong wants to create opportunities for him, right?

In front of the courtiers, she asked to go back to the border gate. The crown prince first pretended to refuse, and then agreed with "all helplessness". The eldest prince's people saw Linglong leading the family to leave the capital with their own eyes. They were afraid that she would turn back and sent a The person followed to the border and was convinced that she really went back, so she reported back to the First Prince.

Although Linglong is not here, Duke Cheng is also a troublesome person. How can such a person be dealt with? The First Prince also has a solution.

His staff has a plan.

There are not many people in this world who can get close to Duke Cheng, and the old lady of the palace is obviously the best candidate. The old lady was very dissatisfied with the fact that the boss passed the title to her granddaughter. She sighed and racked her brains all day long to get the title back. Run, the name of the beautiful name is to show filial piety to the old lady - being covered up by the light of the powerful brother for a lifetime, and being a mediocre person for a lifetime, is there no resentment, no resentment, and no unwillingness in the second master's heart?

Of course there is.

As long as people are selfish, they can come in handy.

As a result, Duke Cheng also naturally became "ill". The eldest prince quickly sent people to surround the palace. He promised the second room and the old lady, and when he ascended the throne, he would transfer the title to the second room. The old lady and the second master are very satisfied.

With Duke Cheng in his hands, he won't be afraid even if the devil comes back, unless she doesn't even care about her father.

It was incredible that everything went smoothly. It seemed that there was a big hand behind the scenes to promote all this development. The eldest prince led the army into the palace. The news he got was that the emperor had been in a coma for several days. He is really a ruthless man. On the surface, he is virtuous and virtuous, but he desperately arranges for his imperial concubine to sleep in the bed. Even if no one else tells him, there are people in the hospital for him. If the imperial father is sick, it is simply a wind!

When he broke into the emperor's palace, the empress was feeding medicine to the emperor. The unconscious emperor had difficulty swallowing the medicine. Suddenly, such a group of people wearing armor and holding weapons came in. The empress did not panic, but was very worried. Calmly: "Yong Ming comes in, don't you need to communicate?"

Yong Ming is the name of the eldest prince. Hearing this, he sneered: "Today, I will eradicate the demon empress and seek justice for the father! The father is obviously terminally ill, but you claim that the father is just a cold. , what is your idea! With me here, it is impossible for your conspiracy to succeed!"

The Empress gave him a mocking look: "Yongming is really majestic today, why, these adults also feel that this palace is plotting something wrong, and follow Yongming to seek justice for the emperor?"

Standing next to the eldest prince are the patriarchs of several aristocratic families, and they all hold important positions in the court. At this moment, they all have a sense of justice on their faces.

The Empress put the medicine bowl aside and wiped her fingers stained with the medicinal juice: "The purpose of lying about the emperor's illness is to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers. I can't understand what Yongming said. I can't understand it. What conspiracy is there? The emperor is ill, and this palace does not need to calculate, and the crown prince can successfully ascend to the throne. When the time comes, this palace will be the queen mother, so, Yong Ming, what is the plan of this palace, and what conspiracy and tricks are there?"

The staff around the eldest prince are righteous: "Of course it is the emperor's will to abolish the prince and make his highness the emperor! The queen knows this, so she wants to secretly kill the emperor!"

This is a really powerful blow. The Queen said, "Then you must have prepared your will?"

She looked at the unconscious emperor and sighed: "The emperor is really pitiful. It turns out that after Yongming ascended the throne, he actually wanted to kill the emperor who was still alive."

Otherwise, where did the word "will" come from?

No one noticed, the emperor's eyeballs moved suddenly.

"His Royal Highness, it's a dream come true, take down the queen first, the prince is a dutiful son, and it will be in our hands later!"

The eldest prince nodded: "Someone! Take this demon empress for me!"

The soldiers he brought rushed towards the Empress, but the Empress was not afraid, she didn't even blink an eye, there was a big sword in front of her, the eldest prince and others were stunned when they saw this: "Chengguo Boss?!"

No way! Isn't Cheng Guogong already caught and filled with medicine and unable to move? !

Emperor Cheng played his big sword like a tiger, but he didn't ask anyone to get close to the empress. He sneered: "When I went to the battlefield, your hair didn't grow, what was in your mind? Don't I know? You are a fool yourself, don't treat other people as fools!"

The eldest prince suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. Sure enough, there was a sound of killing outside, and it soon returned to calm. A slender figure walked in, with a very familiar voice with a smile. He was laughed at once: "Just because the rabble outside is also imitating others to force the palace, His Royal Highness has grown so many years in vain, and has not improved at all."

"Heh." This is another person sneering, "If you really have brains, you won't be fooled around by the family."

The eldest prince's eyes are splitting: "How could it be you?!"

The people who came were Linglong and the prince. Linglong's long sword was dripping with blood. Her beautiful face was full of sweet smiles, but it made the eldest prince and others shudder. She has been dealing with her for so many years, and she is familiar with it, and she has never taken advantage of her!

"Why not us?" Linglong casually threw the long sword to the dragonfly with the same light armor, walked up to the Empress, and asked with concern, "Auntie okay?"

"It's all right." The Empress looked at her lovingly, "You told my aunt, how could my aunt be afraid?"

The prince helped the "comatose" emperor up and said to the eldest prince: "Eldest brother, look here."

The eldest prince was still immersed in the horror of how the father and daughter of Chengguo could be here. When he turned his head and saw his father who "left a will", he was glaring at him. He knew right away that it was not good. He was able to bend and stretch, and immediately threw his hands away. Weapon knelt down and begged for mercy, shuffling all the responsibilities to his staff and the aristocratic family - the faces of the people around him turned green.

What kind of master is this! It was because he was so fooled and handled well, I didn't expect to be so spineless!

The emperor was seriously ill, and he heard his beloved eldest son say some nasty things, and his condition became worse and he almost fainted!

There was a lot of thunder and little rain. The people didn't know what happened. They only knew that many nobles had their homes raided overnight, and their hands were successively allocated land according to their family members. , this is undoubtedly a good thing, not to mention that the new emperor has been tax-free for three years! And paying taxes after three years is much less than before!

Then they are very very very happy!

The emperor endured his anger and dealt with Concubine De and the eldest prince. He really couldn't bear to take their lives. Concubine De was demoted to a commoner in a secluded palace, and the eldest prince was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum. Neither the Queen Mother nor the Crown Prince had any objection to his decision, and the Emperor did not want to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, but the Queen Mother persuaded him.

Now he doesn't have the energy to spoil the concubine any more, the empress held his hand with all the sincerity: "The couple has been married for decades, the emperor should leave some time for me, I have waited for the emperor for dozens of years. Years, can't even the rest of the time be just you and me?"

She is so gentle and considerate, and reminds the emperor of the time of the wedding, which was like glue. Gong Yun travels around the world.

The Empress's mouth is sincere, but in fact it is not much touched. She wants her son to be the emperor in a proper name, and let everyone know that her son is the orthodox!

As for the emperor... If a few words against your heart can achieve your goals, why not? She has been coaxing him for decades, and she doesn't care about one more time.

Traveling around the world or something, the empress is not very interested, she prefers to stay in the capital to see how her two favorite children have made the world stable and prosperous step by step, but if she stays, the emperor will also stay , This soft-hearted man, if he wants to blow his hair, he will cause trouble to Linglong and Xindi, and it is better to take him away from the capital.

Empress Cheng was sent by his daughter to protect the emperor and the empress dowager. Out of sight is pure, and they must not dare to harass Linglong.

Because she is... so fierce!

At the end of the palace change that day, Linglong didn't even change his light armor. He returned to the Duke's Mansion with a **** sword. Cheng Guogong poured all the medicine into him, and he didn't show any emotion. The old lady was so frightened by this vicious granddaughter that she fainted, and she couldn't move half of her body after waking up.

Linglong stood beside the bed, gave her a condescending look, sneered, and ignored her. As for whether the servants of this mansion will hold high and step down in the future to please the female princess, then I will talk to her. It doesn't matter.

This old lady said that she abused the original owner, but she didn't. She just brutalized a young girl with a tender mind, and had Kong Wenyu to make trouble. After Cheng Guogong died, the original owner's emotions collapsed and he committed suicide. .

Then let the old lady have a good taste of cold violence from now on until she breathes out.

As for Kong Wenyu... The old lady tried her best to get her to marry well, and she wanted to climb the high branch herself, so she couldn't hide her jealousy of Linglong, so she was sent back to the old lady without even thinking about it. Her parents' family, now she is a first-class female prince, and the new emperor has a lot of trust in her. She is more than ten thousand people. She really doesn't have to worry about Kongwenyu or Luo's family, including Zhou's family. There will be countless people who want to please her to trample.

Why waste your time for this ant?

Have this time, let's see how the grains are, and how are the merchant ships dispatched?

In the late stage of the succession, she and the crown prince deliberately revealed many flaws, which made the family surrender to the eldest prince. Killing is definitely unrealistic, Linglong hinted at them euphemistically.

Will it be death or money?

The first one came to the door, and the others immediately came with their family property. The empty treasury was instantly filled. The several leading families were slaughtered as an example. Linglong took the opportunity to change the regulations that the family does not pay taxes. The more policies are adopted, as for those who are famous and famous, they will be taxed according to the number of heads, and the excess will still be taxed, so as to prevent the phenomenon that one person is admitted as a scholar, and the whole family hangs the land in his name for tax exemption.

This has paid off within a year.

In addition, Linglong took the initiative to write a letter requesting the reduction of the hereditary system. In the past, there was a title in the family, and it has been passed down for generations. Let's not talk about anything else. Just because the title is different, the salary and rewards obtained are also very different. How much money was buried on these people? That has to be calculated carefully.

But it can't cool the hearts of civil and military officials. Therefore, the new emperor stipulated that when the title is hereditary, if the descendants have the ability and achievements, they can change it as appropriate; If there are no promising children and grandchildren in the family, it will be a matter of time and night.

Given the big sword in Linglong's hand, no one dares to object.

She is like a sharp blade, standing there invincible, the new emperor can display his ambition arbitrarily, and no one dares to say a word.

Afterwards, the imperial court "lays off staff", and the Ministry of Personnel began to implement an official assessment system. Those who failed the annual exam were all swept away and returned to their origins. This system alone eliminated more than half of the faint of mind who only lived on salary and did not do practical work. Officials, the new emperor opened Enke again, and there were a lot of new bloodlines in the court back then. These people were deeply influenced by Linglong and the new emperor. Compared with the old batch of officials, they dared to think and act more.

The Ministry of Industry is recruiting talented people, focusing on cultivating talents. Coupled with exquisite prompts, the level of technology is simply leaps and bounds.

Cintiq's dreams and ambitions are all realized one by one.

Xu is because for him, the two most important people in his life are women, the new emperor's attitude towards women is more gentle and open-minded, and because of Linglong's existence, women also get more choices with the future.

First it was women's school, then women's scientific examination. In the year when the new emperor was not confused, the scientific examination was no longer divided into male and female subjects, and many female officials with both wisdom and ability were entered in the court. The common people's education for their daughters at home Gradually began to value, free basic schools all over the world, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and the army is strong.

Three people who traveled around the world, the emperor, the empress and the old prince, because they have been in the people, they have a deep feeling. The emperor Xu began to cultivate his body, but his body and bones began to improve slowly. The empress dowager misses a pair of children, and the new emperor When it was time to start a family, he returned to Beijing to handle the matter after receiving a letter from Linglong.

Linglong and Xindi are very close. For Xindi, apart from his mother, even his wife and children in the future cannot be compared with Linglong. Therefore, he does not have many requirements for the future queen, only I hope that the other party is gentle and courteous, and the rest is not important, because he will not accept other concubines.

In the end, the queen mother chose a good-natured girl for him as his wife. The new emperor respected her very much, but he didn't put much thought on love, but more wanted to see his own governance countries became stronger and richer.

The queen gave birth to a pair of children for him, and the new emperor sent them to Linglong, but soon, the new emperor discovered that the two children had different personalities and even different aspirations.

The prince is more fond of elegance, and has a deep interest in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, while the princess is very interested in government and politics, and she is very smart and understandable. Looking at this pair of brothers and sisters, the emperor seems to see again when he was young. Himself and Linglong sister.

At that time, he thought that if Sister Linglong was the crown prince, he would definitely be able to do better than himself.

Influenced by the queen mother, the emperor is a very open-minded father who knows how to get along with his children. He asked a pair of children and confirmed that the son wants to learn more and has no interest in the throne, while the daughter does not like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and prefers Riding a pony and wielding a wooden sword and a wooden sword, he even has a lot of ideas about listening to the imperial study.

The emperor thought for a long time before asking Linglong if it would be feasible for him to make his daughter the crown princess.

Linglong said with a smile, "What's not feasible? There used to be no female daughters, and no female princes, but now there are no more?"

Haven't the emperor also met many loyal and talented female officials in the court? What's wrong with the queen? This is not a throne that was snatched from someone else, but an orthodox crown princess, justifiable and deserved.

Although the queen was very surprised by this, she has a gentle temperament and prefers to be a good wife and mother, so everything follows the emperor's will.

The prince learned that his sister was going to be a princess, and after thinking for a long time, he actually hugged his sister and said with pity: "My sister has worked hard, and in the future, I will be like my father and be a good emperor."

The crown princess clenched her fist, "I will! My brother will always stay with me!"

The prince showed an embarrassed expression. He prefers piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In fact, he is not very interested in the political affairs, but if it is the request of the younger sister... it is not impossible. However, in this case, his life plan will have to be redone. Adjusted, I originally planned to wait until adulthood to learn to travel around the world like my grandfather and grandmother, but now it seems that it is not possible.

This pair of brothers and sisters love each other, but no matter how calm the sea is, there will be wind and rain. There are always some people who are not so calm and try to provoke them. Until the good-tempered prince gets angry and dealt with that person, everyone knows that the prince is real He didn't want to be the emperor, but also sincerely wanted to assist his sister to ascend the throne.

In the following decades, the country was prosperous and the imperial power was stable. Before the emperor died, he held Linglong's hand and refused to let go. He only smiled at her, but did not ask her to stay.

Probably he also knows that in these swift years, the only thing that can make her want to stay is love.
