Chapter 479: Cannon fodder under the emperor's love, hatred and hatred 10

Since the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion was unwilling to help Li Wenxuan, the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion has become a lot more distant. However, when Lian Zhilan got married, the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion still prepared a big gift to go.

Shi Qing and Liu Chengjun also went with their parents. When Prime Minister Lian and his wife saw them coming, they only greeted them lightly.

The system saw that Prime Minister Lian and his wife treated Shi Qing and others like ordinary guests, and said: [Are they really angry? ]

"Well, it's okay if they are angry, just don't have much contact in the future."

Shi Qing didn't think anything of the Prime Minister's Mansion's attitude. Seeing that his mother and brother looked normal, they should think so too. Only his father's face was a little complicated.

Liu Yu actually felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to fall out with his sister's family, but he already knew the consequences of helping Li Wenxuan, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

Without his help, it was unlikely that Li Wenxuan would ascend to that position. Even if he did, with the current attitude of their Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion, there was no reason to take back the military power.

Thinking of the child of Li Wenxuan and Lian Zhilan, who had caused countless soldiers to die on the frontier and the people to live in misery for the so-called love, Liu Yu couldn't help feeling cold in his heart.

Regardless of whether Li Wenxuan would ascend to that position, he would not let Li Yan ascend the throne again.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes became more determined. He glanced at his sister and brother-in-law who were greeting guests not far away. Seeing their happy faces, he sighed in his heart.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was finally separated from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Since he rejected Lian Zhilan, Liu Yu had been thinking about this day, but he didn't regret it.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu thought of his youngest son who had experienced all the tragedies personally. Seeing that he had little expression on his face and looked calm, he felt a little distressed.

When Liu Yu looked at him with a complicated look, Shi Qing quickly noticed it and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just saw Zhilan getting married and suddenly realized that you have all grown up." Liu Yu said.

As he spoke, thinking of the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law that his wife had told him about a few days ago, Liu Yu thought of the poor granddaughter behind him, and his mood became heavier.

Shi Qing heard Liu Yu say this and knew that he should be thinking more than that, but he did not investigate it in detail.

…

After returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was nothing to do between the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being, and the two families had almost no contact.

After Lian Zhilan married the Seventh Prince, the Prime Minister's Mansion was completely tied to the Seventh Prince. Li Wenji soon married the daughter of a cabinet elder in the court, and the struggle between the two became more and more obvious.

Knowing that Shi Qing's current mentality was not just the current fifteen-year-old, Liu Yu and Liu Chengjun would also tell Shi Qing about the affairs of the court, and Shi Qing also gave a lot of advice on this.

The system watched Li Wenxuan and Li Wenji go back and forth, expose each other, and frame each other, while the emperor on the dragon throne simply reprimanded a few words, or gave some light punishments, and was very puzzled.

[Host, Li Wenxuan and Li Wenji are so diametrically opposed, how come the emperor seems to be unaware? ]

"He knows, but he just turns a blind eye."

As the most powerful emperor in the world, if he wants to, he can know a lot of things. He doesn't say it, but he doesn't want to say it.

Before, Li Wenxuan and Li Wenji were exposed by several princes for forming cliques in private, but they didn't receive any serious punishment. This is certainly related to their timely amputation and confession of mistakes, but it is also because the emperor himself doesn't want to care too much.

As Shi Qing thought, the emperor did have similar ideas.

At this time, in the imperial study, the emperor dragged his heavy body and looked at the unprocessed memorials on the desk, frowning.

Now the struggle between his sons is becoming more and more obvious, but this is what he wants to see. He doesn't have a prince in mind. The throne is originally for the capable, so let them fight for it and see who will win in the end.

Thinking this way, the emperor finished reading the memorials that he had not read, and then said to the eunuch chief who was serving beside him: "Return to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With the emperor's tacit consent, the princes below also quickly noticed his thoughts. They were cautious before and did not dare to make any big moves, but now their actions have become much bolder.

Just when the undercurrents in the capital were turbulent, Zhenbei Marquis and his wife asked for Liu Chengjun's consent and arranged a marriage for him. In March of the following year, the two got married.

Two years passed in a flash, and the struggle in the court had not stopped. Lian Zhilan, like in the original plot, was pregnant with Li Yan, and the emperor's life was coming to an end.

The emperor was critically ill, and several princes had their own ulterior motives. Some ministers were panicked, and Lian Zhilan was also very nervous.

Without the support of Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, Li Wenxuan's path was not as smooth as Li Wenji's in his previous life, and he was only evenly matched with Li Wenji.

Seeing that Li Wenxuan came back very late almost every day, with a worried look, Lian Zhilan thought of the possibility of failure, and her resentment towards the Zhenbei Marquisate increased a little.

The Zhenbei Marquisate was unwilling to help them and insisted on choosing neutrality. If Li Wenxuan succeeded, it would be fine, but if he failed, what should he do?

It was easy to overthink during pregnancy, and Lian Zhilan was worried. Then she learned that the emperor passed the throne to the ninth prince Li Wenchang before his death.

How could it be possible? After knowing this news, Lian Zhilan was a little unsteady on her feet, but fortunately the maid next to her was quick and supported her in time.

"Your Highness, why is this happening?" Lian Zhilan asked, looking at Li Wenxuan with a gloomy face.

"How did this palace know?" If Li Wenxuan knew, then he would be the new emperor.

Li Wenxuan was more upset than anyone else when he learned that his father passed the throne to Li Wenchang. He married Lian Zhilan and thought he had a sure win, but the Zhenbei Marquisate did not play by the rules and directly and clearly stated that they would not take sides.

In the past two years, he and Li Wenji fought to the death for that position, but both were defeated by Li Wenchang.

"Why is this happening?" Seeing that Li Wenxuan said he didn't know, Lian Zhilan murmured again.

She thought that with her help, Li Wenxuan still had a good chance of ascending to that position, but now, why did a ninth prince appear?

Lian Zhilan and Li Wenxuan could not accept the failure, and Li Wenji could not accept it either. After returning to the mansion, he was so angry that he smashed the teacup on the table, causing the servants to kneel on the ground.

The ninth prince became the final winner, and some ministers who stood on the wrong side were pale, including Prime Minister Lian.
