Chapter 1133 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and fifty-six)
If Qingli were to evaluate the current emperor, he would say that he is quite troublesome.
The emperor should take half the responsibility for the deaths of his sons. With an unreliable father, whether his sons make trouble or not, they will not have a good ending.
Now that Concubine Tian was under house arrest, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel anxious and worried, fearing that his position as crown prince would be lost. However, he himself had no ability and was out of the house visiting ministers all day long, but there was no improvement. Anyway, Concubine Tian was guarded by the emperor's men and was isolated from the outside world.
The Marquis of Zhongshan was also idle at home. With his maternal clan suppressed, Zhao Yu had no choice but to rely on the Guo family. Guo Youbai, however, had no feelings for his husband, treating him like a stranger. Zhao Yu felt that he had wronged himself and let down the beauties in the backyard palace by seeking the Guo family's help to consummate his marriage with Guo Youbai. However, Guo Youbai simply looked down on him.
The two either separated or slept on the floor. Under the violent suppression, Zhao Yu looked at Guo Youbai with anger and fear. There was no way. When Guo Youbai got angry, he really beat people. Moreover, Zhao Yu had to conceal it. It would be too embarrassing to tell others.
If the news that he was dealt with by Guo Youbai spread throughout the capital, even if Guo Youbai would be punished by the emperor, Zhao Yu would really lose face.
When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.
He would rather others say that he and the princess are in love than to have others say: Look, the dignified King Ren is just a coward who can't even beat a woman.
Of course, Zhao Yu only thought that he had concealed the secret well. In fact, people like Qingli and Prime Minister Song had already received the news a long time ago, but there was no need to spread it to everyone. They just treated it as a joke.
Qingli really regarded the entire royal family as a joke. Some people had been jumping around for too long and didn't log off when they should have, so that the royal family is now in a bleak state.
The emperor used to be afraid that his older sons would seize the throne, and he is still afraid now, so Concubine Tian and Zhao Yu suffered, especially when the emperor found out that Concubine Tian had attacked both the queen and the ninth prince.
The emperor has always favored whoever is weak. He used to favor Zhao Yu, so now he can naturally favor Zhao Jing.
Now, the upper circles in the capital have all set their sights on the ninth prince, Zhao Jing.
As the emperor said, the country was his, and he could do whatever he wanted. Since there was no profit to be made from the Ninth Prince, he would increase his bargaining chips.
When the emperor found out that his ministers were against making the ninth prince the crown prince, he was not completely angry.
If everyone agreed to his proposal, he would start to suspect that these ministers wanted to replace him with an obedient and easily fooled young emperor and kick him off the throne. He chose Xiaojiu as the crown prince because he felt pity for this ill-fated and motherless youngest son, but more importantly, Xiaojiu was easy to control.
The child can only rely on his father. He has never heard of a 6-year-old child organizing ministers to plot for power and usurp the throne.
More than a dozen imperial edicts were issued in succession, and the emperor directly appointed Zhao Jing as the King of Defending the King.
The emperor found several teachers and study companions for Zhao Jing. Among them, Prime Minister Song and Wei Ying became Zhao Jing's teachers. Prime Minister Song taught him political strategies, and Wei Ying taught him riding, archery and martial arts. The study companions also included the grandson of Prince Heshun, the nephew of the queen, and the youngest son of Guo Changheng.
Prime Minister Song declined on the grounds of old age and frailty, and said he wanted to resign and retire. The emperor still refused to agree to his resignation and directly included Song Lingji as the ninth prince's tutor to teach him music and chess.
Qingli heard from her brother that if Yueyaer wasn't too young and there were concerns about her being sent to the palace, the emperor would have considered sending her nephew Song Yunyuan to the Imperial Academy to study with the Ninth Prince. The emperor also prepared a palace banquet to celebrate Zhao Jing's coronation.
After a series of operations, the emperor won over a large number of nobles and civil servants to Zhao Jing. Even the Guo family was no longer forced to stand on the side of Prince Ren because Guo Changheng's youngest son entered the palace as a companion.
Qingli looked at Ren Wang, who had lost more than ten pounds at the palace banquet. He seemed... much more pleasing to the eye than his previous bloated and ordinary appearance.
