The Favoured Medical Princess: 456 timing

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

The eldest prince was secretly resentful.

These days, he has been walking on thin ice. The Queen Mother's illness was obviously over at first, but his father has been reprimanding him repeatedly recently, and he doesn't even have a good face. After he inquired, he found out that his father I don’t know who told her that the Queen Mother was either sick or poisoned, and it was him who poisoned her. Thinking of this, Han Lingchao was frightened. Fortunately, his father had no evidence, otherwise he would be like the third emperor's brother!

His father would never doubt him for no reason, but Han Lingchao thought about it and couldn't figure out who did it until someone told him that his second brother was not as close to him as he seemed. Only then did he suddenly realize that there was no struggle in the world.

In the same way, once he and the third emperor brother are defeated, and then get rid of the fifth emperor brother, won't the second emperor brother naturally become the winner?

Thinking about it this way, since the Third Emperor's brother was imprisoned, the Second Emperor's brother is no longer hiding his edge like before, and now he openly wants to argue with himself about official language! ?

Han Lingchao looked at Han Lingguan coldly, restrained his impulse, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Han Lingguan always had a careless smile on his face. He, the eldest brother of the emperor, was still so lackluster. Guan Yubai was a talented person and a capable minister. If he wanted his assistance, he would naturally have to show off. The patience of looking at the thatched cottage three times. Wouldn't he ask others to "give up on Kong Rong" just because his eldest brother wanted to recruit Guan Yubai? The eldest brother is so narrow-minded and wants to ascend to the supreme position. He is really overestimating his capabilities!

The surrounding officials watched a good show for just a moment, with different expressions.

Since the three princes left the palace and opened their own houses one after another, the ministers have gained a deeper understanding of them. The eldest prince has an impulsive temperament and is not very generous; the second prince is kind to others and has always had a good reputation in the court; and although the third prince was once imprisoned, the emperor's attitude toward him has gradually softened recently, and he seems to have a chance to turn around.

Over the years, the eldest prince and the third prince have always made some small moves, and all the ministers have seen it, and they are secretly disdainful in their hearts. There is a legitimate son in the middle palace, and the emperor is in the prime of life. They fight so much, which will only anger them. Holy face. The second prince was the only one who never got involved in the struggle for power, and his handling of errands in an orderly manner was praised by many veterans.

No, the second prince would rather offend his brother than save the prince from the siege. He is indeed a man of extraordinary glory, and he will definitely be a wise king in the future!

Several courtiers exchanged glances with admiration in their eyes.

With a faint smile on Guan Yubai's lips, he sat aside with Nangong Qin at his invitation.

Guan Yu Bai just took a sip of tea, and people came over to talk to him one after another. Soon even Han Lingguan sat down and suggested with a smile: "Master Hou, I will have a rest tomorrow. I have invited Master Yu." If we go to the mansion to play chess, why don't the Marquis come too, and the three of us can talk a few games and make friends with each other over chess?" Han Lingguan suggested with a smile.

Guan Yubai put down the tea cup in his hand and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "But Master Yu from the Imperial College?"

Seeing that Guan Yubai was very interested, Han Lingguan knew that he had chosen the right topic and nodded: "It is Master Yu Fengyang. I wonder if Mr. Hou still remembers the endgame of the three games when Jinxin met Master Yu?"

"I remember it." Guan Yubai nodded slightly, elegantly and calmly.

Han Lingguan continued: "Master Yu is my first teacher in chess. The third game of the Jinxin Conference is called nameless. Master Yu spent three days and three nights, but he couldn't think of a way to break the chess game. , and then spent several months deliberation with chess friends, but to no avail, so he took it to Jinxinhui to see if there was any unique way to crack it. Thanks to Mr. Hou, he got his wish."

Guan Yubai said unhurriedly: "Master Yu is the most affectionate person, and it is really an honor for me to have the honor to have a chat with Master Yu."

Han Lingguan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Then it's settled."

Han Lingchao, who was sitting aside, looked at them with a gloomy look on his face, and finally managed not to have an attack.

At this time, a young chamberlain came in and said respectfully: "Your Highness, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the morning court."

The talking in the check-in room stopped immediately. Han Lingguan stood up and made a "please" gesture to Guan Yubai, very humbly.

Guan Yubai smiled lightly and responded: "Your Highness, please."

Everyone also stood up one after another and walked towards the Jinluan Palace together.

Guan Yubai's position was quite forward. After he stood still, it happened to be Mao hour, and a servant's sharp voice immediately sounded: "The Emperor has arrived!" The emperor in bright yellow dragon robes ascended to the throne, and the horse Jin Daodi sat down and looked down at the ministers, while the ministers knelt down and shouted long live.

After the routine etiquette, the courtiers stood up one after another. While standing up, some courtiers glanced at Eunuch Liu beside the emperor without leaving any trace, wondering how the emperor's Sacred Heart was doing today.

Eunuch Liu smiled and nodded slightly to the other party. The minister knew what he was doing and felt relieved. It seemed that the Sacred Heart was very happy today.

Sure enough, the next moment, the emperor's smiling voice was heard from the throne above: "Huairen, read to them all the memorial sent by Prince Zhennan!"

Eunuch Liu responded, took the memorial from the little chamberlain, and slowly opened it.

The officials who all bowed their heads were startled. They did not expect to hear the name of Prince Zhennan again after a few months. However, since the emperor's words contained a smile, he must have heard something good from southern Xinjiang. information.

Nangong Qin’s eyes lit up and he listened attentively.

Eunuch Liu read the excerpt in the long tone of a chamberlain: "Xiao Yi, the crown prince of Zhennan, reported: Thanks to the emperor's kindness, I have arrived in southern Xinjiang safely and met with the Baiyue envoys in Kailian City..." The above eloquently describes how he showed off his great dignity to the envoys of Baiyue, forcing them to flee. Baiyue was like a shrunken turtle, not daring to make any more nonsense. Yi Dayi expressed solemnly, "How can a great wealth be afraid of the barbarian land of Baiyue", and flatteringly said that what he did was "all taught by the Holy Grace in many ways" and so on.

Although the emperor has read this excerpt several times, as Liu Eunuch recited it, he still felt comfortable and at ease. The smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and his heart was filled with joy. He felt that he had let Xiao Yi's decision to return to southern Xinjiang to shock Baiyue couldn't be more sage. Look, after Xiao Yi returned, Baiyue became as docile as a lamb and no longer dared to shout about starting a war.

Listening to the meaning of this statement, it seems that Dayu will not go to war with Baiyue again. After hearing this, all the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a huge weight in their hearts.

Seeing that the emperor was happy, a minister came out with a discerning eye and said: "The emperor has a keen eye for pearls, knows people well and uses them well, and cares about the world. The prince of Zhennan is an unparalleled hero. He is really a blessing to me and a blessing to southern Xinjiang." !"

Following that, another minister also came out to praise: "The emperor's sage is a blessing to the country! The barbarians are afraid of the power of my great wealth and will not dare to invade..."

For a time, the monarchs and ministers in the Jinluan Palace were enjoying themselves happily.

The emperor looked down at the ministers with great satisfaction, and said loudly: "Now that the Baiyue incident has been settled, I should reward the ministers who have made meritorious deeds. An Yihou Guanyu came forward to listen to the award!"

All the ministers were thoughtful. No wonder the emperor specially called Guan Yu to the court in vain. It turned out that he planned to reward him. All the officials listened attentively, wanting to see what the emperor's attitude towards the official family was now.

Guan Yubai strode to the palace and heard Feng: "I am here!"

The emperor obviously had a secret for a long time, and said in one breath: "An Yihou Guanyu Bai is resourceful and loyal. He has made meritorious service to the court many times. Since he took charge of the vassal court, he has handled all the peace negotiations with Baiyue properly, which is very worthy of me." Heart, I hereby appoint you as the Imperial Censor of the Ducha Yuan. ... The Lifan Yuan is still under your control for the time being."

"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Guan Yu said thank you, stood up and returned to the queue.

The hearts of the civil and military officials standing in two rows in the Jinluan Hall were about to explode, but because it was still in the morning court, they could only suppress the shock in their hearts.

Although An Yihou has been in charge of the Lifan Yuan during this period, the original reason was only because the emperor was annoyed with the third prince Han Lingfu, so he temporarily let An Yihou take over the errands of the Li Fan Yuan, and he was not even allowed to serve in the Li Fan Yuan. The title given to the court makes one wonder whether the emperor will leave him idle again after the Baiyue incident is over.

But today the emperor appointed Guan Yubai as the censor of Youdu. This is a second-rank official, but he is still a weak one. It is natural for him to go to court to discuss matters.

Obviously, this means that the emperor really wants to use official language again!

Even if the official family is full and only one Guan Yubai is left, the official family will still rise again.

Han Lingguan looked at Guan Yubai with burning eyes. It was no fluke that this person could rise from a prisoner to his current position step by step. His strategy was evident. For such a capable person, no matter how much money he spent, All your thoughts are worth it, and he will definitely help you willingly!

The wind was surging upwards, but the white clouds were white and the wind was clear. He stood quietly, waiting...

On the throne, the emperor continued in a good mood: "Recently, the new king of Baiyue, Kuilang, once again asked me to come down and marry the princess. This matter has been discussed for a long time. I wonder if you have any suggestions now?"

Everyone knows that Kui Lang's request for peace is just a whitewash by the emperor, but no one will tell it apart.

It’s just that Baiyue has a new king on the throne. In the final analysis, Kui Lang is just a man with an uncertain future. Naturally, no one is willing to get married.

The court hall was silent and silent.

The emperor's smile faded slightly, and his original good mood was suddenly covered with a layer of dust. He said in a deep voice: "What?! Is it difficult to decide on this candidate?"

On the side, Han Lingguan's lips curled up slightly. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

My father never mentioned the marriage again after cousin Xia drowned in the lake. Although he finally found a suitable candidate, he couldn't bring it up voluntarily.

This is just right now. If no one is willing to get married, then once one of my own people proposes a candidate, my father will definitely agree...

"Your Majesty!" A voice broke Han Lingguan's contemplation, and a minister stepped forward, bowed and said: "I thought Kui Lang was the new king of Baiyue, with an unusual status. His Royal Highness the Third Princess in the Palace He is of marriageable age and is the best candidate."

Han Lingguan's expression changed and he glanced at Han Lingchao standing in front of him.

Although the third princess is Ye Jieyu's daughter, Ye Jieyu died of illness a few years ago, so the third princess was raised under the name of Li Bin, and Li Bin was Han Lingchao's biological mother! It seemed that this time his eldest brother was no longer stupid, and actually had the same idea as him.

Han Ling thought about it and winked at a minister diagonally opposite. The man immediately retorted righteously: "Master Xin, although Kui Lang is the new king of Baiyue, he is already married to a wife in Baiyue. , how can you be worthy of my great princess of Dayu."

The emperor's right hand moved gently on the armrest of the throne without making any comment.

"What Mr. Li said is true. I think we can choose a good-looking daughter among the ministers of third rank or above to get married." A minister said at this time, "Master Su's legitimate second daughter is a virtuous and virtuous daughter. , The reputation of filial piety spread far and wide, and I even heard that Miss Su Er once made a wish in front of the Buddha: I hope that war will cease forever, courtesy will prevail, the people will be happy, and the world will be peaceful. Master Ming Ran of Bailong Temple praised her for her wisdom... Choose this If a girl with Buddha nature gets married, I believe she will be able to turn her anger into peace and bring about great prosperity and hundreds of years of good fortune."

The emperor was silent for a while and asked: "What does Su Qing mean?"

Su Zhijing, the academician of Hanlin Academy, took a step forward, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Dayu and Baiyue's peace, I wish that my liver and brain would be wiped out!"

There was silence in the Jinluan Palace.

Han Lingchao's face suddenly darkened.

The Su family was born into scholars for generations and was very noble. Su Zhijing’s eldest daughter was the second prince’s concubine!

The Su family's willingness to marry their second daughter must be the intention of his second emperor brother.

This must never be allowed!

Han Lingchao looked at Mr. Li, nodded slightly, and saw Mr. Li refuting: "Master Wang, this is wrong. In the past, most of the candidates for marriage were princesses, daughters of clan princes. Even if it is not good, then it is Those who are related to the royal family..." For example, Princess Mingyue at that time, "How can you choose a minister to replace you at will? Doesn't that show the emperor's lack of sincerity..."

Master Wang said without flinching: "Master Li, even if you are a minister, she is still a noble daughter of my wealthy family. The emperor will accept her as your adopted daughter and give her the title of princess..."

"Even if I am given the title of princess, my daughter still does not have royal blood..."

The two refused to give in to each other, and gradually a few ministers joined in the war of words and argued endlessly, while most people just watched quietly.

The emperor's eyes were dark and hard to argue. When the argument gradually subsided, he finally spoke, but his eyes were fixed on Guan Yubai, and he said: "Guan Ai Qing!"

"I'm here!" Guan Yubai took a step forward and responded.

"Guan Ai Qing, you are now in charge of the Lifan Court. Who do you think is the most suitable candidate for marriage?" Under the blazing eyes of the ministers, the emperor asked slowly.

For a moment, all the civil and military officials glanced at Guan Yubai quietly, but Guan Yubai still looked calm and said, "May I ask your Majesty, why do I, Dayu, want to marry Kui Lang?"

The emperor was slightly startled and began to think seriously. The courtiers also whispered a little, wondering what the official purpose of Bai's question was.

Guan Yubai continued: "The puppet king of Baiyue is now in power. As the new king of Baiyue, Kui Lang cannot return to his homeland. The emperor is kind and descends with the princess to help him regain the throne. With Dayu's army, this The thing is, we promise to win, but what will Kuilang do after regaining the throne?"

The emperor nodded thoughtfully.

He has not thought about this issue carefully. It is not difficult to help Kuilang capture Baiyue. If Kuilang returns to Baiyue by then, with his wolfish ambition, he may be able to escape Dayu's control.

Guan Yubai continued calmly, "It doesn't matter who the princess is, what matters is how Baiyue can truly surrender to Dayu."

Some ministers still wanted to speak, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him. He said thoughtfully: "I have to think about this carefully."

The emperor had said so, and the ministers did not dare to entangle anymore. They only agreed and returned to their respective places in the queue.

The emperor rubbed his brows and gave Eunuch Liu a wink. Eunuch Liu then said loudly, "If you have the foundation to start a memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat," the morning court ended, and the emperor left amid the respectful farewell of all officials. .

The moods of the ministers could not calm down for a long time, but they were full of ups and downs in just one morning.

Han Lingchao gave Han Lingguan a provocative look, waved his sleeves and left the Jinluan Palace.

Han Lingguan ignored it. The marriage was of great importance to him, and he had to find a way to convince his father that Miss Su Er was the best choice.

Han Ling did not return home immediately after leaving the court. Instead, he got into a black flat-top carriage and headed all the way to Taibai Restaurant.

When he got off the carriage at the door of the restaurant, he had already changed out of his court clothes and put on a blue brocade robe. He strode into the restaurant with great strides. He looked high-spirited and energetic.

The waiter led him to the booth on the third floor, where a young man who looked like a servant saluted him in a slightly shrill voice: "I've seen you, sir."

Following that, the young man carefully opened the door of the dining room, and Han Lingchao strode in. At the table next to the window, he saw a young man in a moon-white brocade robe drinking tea while admiring the scenery. He was fair and slender. His well-joined fingertips were slowly turning on the fine white celadon tea cup. They looked gentle and elegant, and one couldn't help but admire in his heart what a good young man in a troubled world.

"Brother Emperor!" The young man noticed the movement at the door, followed the sound, and nodded in greeting.

Han Lingchao strode to the opposite side of the young man, also sat by the window, and said: "The third and second emperor brothers are indeed planning to get married. Fortunately, we have already prepared, otherwise we would have been beaten today. I was caught off guard! It’s just that my father hasn’t made a decision yet, so we still have to discuss it carefully.”

The young man, Han Lingfu, smiled lightly and said: "Brother, please tell me about today's morning meeting..."

In the elegant seats, the wind was refreshing and the fragrance of tea was lingering. I could only hear the two men's voices, one urgent and one slow...

……

Today's morning session dragged on a little too long, and when Guan Yubai returned to the house, it was already past half time.

When Xiaosi entered the study with a bowl of medicinal food, he saw that his young master had changed into a moon-white uniform with silver trim and was leaning back on the Taishi chair, seeming to be asleep and thinking about something...

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Guan Yubai opened his eyes and looked at Xiaosi, his eyebrows stretched.

But Xiaosi kept a straight face and quickly brought the medicinal meal to him. He watched eagerly as he finished it, then he breathed a sigh of relief and his face softened a little.

"Sir," Xiaosi said, "Prince Xiao's flying pigeon message has arrived." After saying that, he presented a piece of silk paper as thin as a cicada's wings.

Guan Yubai took the silk paper and unfolded it, quickly glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Xiaosi has been observing Guan Yubai's every move and couldn't help but ask: "Master, are we going to southern Xinjiang?"

The king is very sad. Xiao Si thinks that his young master should go out for a walk, especially since he has to go to court every day. The young master is weak. If he cannot rest and eat well, his body, which has been restored with great difficulty, will be weak again. What a loss, it’s better to go to Southern Xinjiang!

Guan Yubai tilted his head slightly, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and said slowly: "Just wait for an opportunity."

He stood up slowly and walked to the corner of the study, where an unfolded map hung. It was a very detailed map of southern Xinjiang.

Guan Yubai's gaze leisurely swept over the map, and finally settled on the southeast corner.

Huiling City, Yanding City, Yongjia City, Dengli City...

And... Nanliang.

Guan Yubai narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "It seems that Baiyue's Nuhar wants to get rid of A Yi's control..."

Guan Yubai stared at the map for a long time. He raised his hand and tapped it with his slender fingers, his eyes flashing.

The fourth waiter stood aside and did not dare to disturb him. It was not until he saw Guan Yubai turning around and walking towards the desk that he went over to spread paper and grind it for him.

After a while, Guan Yubai put down his pen, folded it up after the ink dried, and said, "Send it to A Yi."

Xiao Si answered the order and was about to go out when there was a knock on the door of the study. Then, a man wearing a green straight jacket walked in, bowed to Guan Yubai and clasped his fists and said: "Sir, there has just been news from the palace. After hearing the news, the emperor and the queen summoned the third princess. After a stick of incense, the third princess returned to the palace with a gloomy expression."

"Your Majesty must have made up his mind." Guan Yubai smiled lightly, without any surprise on his face.

If he "helps" Kuilang regain the throne in the future, it will definitely not be feasible to let the tiger return to the mountain. In this case, the only logical move is to let Kuilang's son succeed to the throne. And Kuilang has a legitimate wife and legitimate son in Baiyue, and the emperor will not Will want to make wedding clothes for others, and the only way to ensure that Baiyue can be controlled by Dayu forever is to let the new king of Baiyue have the blood of Dayu and the blood of their Han family!

Therefore, the most suitable choice for the emperor and his relatives is the third princess.

The smile at the corner of Guan Yubai's mouth gradually deepened, and he said warmly: "The time has come. Xiaosi, prepare your bags..." His face was calm and clear, but his eyes were shining with a gleam of expectation. .
