Chapter 2387 Substitute Marriage 47

After listening to Su Xinran's words, Mrs. Su secretly thought, if the emperor was the kind of person who cherishes beauty and beauty, he wouldn't have made his grandson the prince yet. Obviously, he is not the kind of soft-hearted person, and he didn't know you were like this. Showing weakness is of no use.

Just as Mrs. Su thought, Su Xinran's attempt to show weakness to the emperor was of little use.

The emperor's feelings for her were limited. She could show weakness, but other women couldn't? Maybe she can do better than her. In this case, no matter how she shows weakness, it won't be useful.

In fact, the emperor also wanted to make her son the prince. After all, he was the legitimate son. However, considering that her son was still young, he was afraid that the throne would not be stable. Moreover, she was cold-blooded and he was afraid that her son would inherit the throne. He would attack his other sons, which was naturally not what the emperor wanted to see.

The emperor was not wrong. In the original world, after Su Xinran came to power, she not only dealt with the concubines in the harem, but also dealt with the other princes. If King Qi hadn't interfered, she would have almost killed them all using various names. Empty.

However, after the death of King Qi, Su Xinran had no control and probably killed all the princes in the end. Who let those princes be an eyesore to her? Not only was the fight for the throne causing an eyesore, but also because they were the emperor's sons. When she thought that the mothers and concubines of these princes were also the emperor's concubines, she hated these princes to the utmost extent, so she took care of the princes' mothers and concubines. Afterwards, she naturally didn't want to see these princes, so she would clean them up, which was normal.

It's just that in the original world, the emperor discovered that Su Xinran was cold-blooded and it was too late to depose the prince. In this world, the emperor recognized her true face early and is now unwilling to hand over the throne to her son, lest she be disadvantageous to other sons and concubines. , which is normal.

Su Xinran naturally didn't know that the emperor saw her true colors as a mean and cold-blooded person, so he didn't want to make her son the prince. He only scolded the emperor for treating her badly, and felt that everyone else was the queen's son and made him a prince. Here, she is clearly a queen, but her son cannot be made a prince. The emperor is so hateful, so naturally she keeps scolding him.

Although the emperor was afraid that Su Xinran was nothing, and if he made her son the prince, the lives of his other sons and concubines might not be saved, but the emperor didn't know who to make, because the other concubines and their sons also It was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he was really hesitant and did not know whose son he should make the prince.

Such a situation made the emperor worry too much, which made his condition more serious.

The emperor himself never thought that like many emperors, he would be worried about establishing a prince. If he had known that he would be worried about this matter, he would have established a prince early in the morning. It would be better than being sick now and the prince has not yet been born. For a moment, he didn't know who was better to establish.

After all, if he had considered this matter a long time ago, he might have thought about it long ago. Unlike now, when the illness gets worse and worse, it will be almost too late if he does not establish a prince. But the more anxious he is, the less he knows who to establish as the prince.

So on this day, the emperor couldn't help but call King Qi to ask his brother what to do about this matter.

Before they ascended the throne, they would always discuss any difficulties as a family. However, after ascending the throne and becoming emperor, it was stipulated that the clan was not allowed to interfere in politics. The two of them never got together to discuss difficult issues like before. Became a loner.

Now the emperor was upset and hesitant, and he remembered the time when he discussed things with his brothers in the past, which made him miss him, so he couldn't help but find King Qi and wanted to ask his opinion.

After hearing the emperor's inquiry, King Qi hurriedly said: "Brother, how dare you say anything about this matter? My younger brother obeys the arrangements of the emperor."

The emperor frowned and said: "You can just say what you want. I know that the clan is not allowed to engage in politics, but I am not asking you as the emperor, but as a brother in the family. It doesn't matter if you say it."

King Qi said seriously: "I know, but if I say it, it means that the clan is interfering in politics. The emperor's brother cannot break this rule to avoid endless troubles!"

The emperor said helplessly: "We can't say it in court, but now in private, it's just you and me. You can say it, and no one else will know it anyway."

"Heaven knows and the earth knows that you know and I know, how could you not know?" King Qi firmly refused.

The emperor had no choice now. He also didn't expect that his brother would be so principled. He didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

But he should still be happy, because this shows that his younger brother really will not interfere in political affairs, which allows him to rest assured that after his death, his younger brother will not interfere in political affairs, neglecting his own son, and even stealing the throne from his own son.

It is normal for him to have such worries, because he pushed his sons around and found that none of them were more capable than King Qi. You must know that King Qi started helping him handle government affairs at the age of sixteen. How capable he was Well, he knows.

What's even more frightening is that King Qi still has considerable influence in the court - many capable ministers in the court were those who worked with King Qi in the past and were discovered by him. Although they are not suspicious of the people they employ, The suspects are not used, and these people are also loyal to him. He does not have to worry about not being able to use them because they are people discovered by the King of Qi, so he keeps using them. He does not use them just because they are the people of the King of Qi.

However, he could not guarantee that these people were willing to be loyal to him and to his incompetent sons.

He really doesn't like any of his sons, not to mention the ignorant ones, and he doesn't like the older ones either.

As a father, he can't see through any filter, so he still expects the group of capable ministers in the court to see through? If you don’t like it, will you be loyal to them in the future? That's weird.

So he was worried that after his death, if the King of Qi wanted to interfere in politics, he could easily evade the court and become the secret emperor. His son was just a puppet. In fact, his son was not even allowed to be a puppet and he was directly used as a puppet. Once he's done with it, he'll take over.

But King Qi's performance today made him somewhat relieved.

Of course, it’s okay not to worry. In the current situation, if he kills King Qi, his sons may not be able to take over the throne smoothly. They may be ignored by the ministers and use the emperor to order the princes. After all, King Qi is his biological brother. If he doesn't worry about him, he should be more trustworthy than those ministers, so naturally he will not kill King Qi at this moment.

——So, it is right for the King of Qi not to be involved in politics. Look, he has not done anything. The emperor is afraid of him because he is too good. Although this is human nature, it is enough to show that the King of Qi does not dare to Getting involved in politics is not a random move, but he has an insight into world affairs and knows that once he gets involved in politics, his brother will be worried about him and may even kill him to pave the way for his son.
