Chapter 615 King of the Domain (2)
Wang Jin was not as filial and obedient as before, and opened his mouth and said: "Father is seriously injured. The imperial doctor has told me to rest in peace and recuperate and not to worry. In the past few days, everyone has been Anyone who wanted to visit was stopped.”
“If Prince Wu’an has something important to do, it’s better to wait until his father’s injury gets better. It’s really not appropriate to worry about my father in such a state now.”
Prince Wu’an didn’t expect Wang Jin to touch him first. A hard nail, I felt quite unhappy. However, he knew very well that Prime Minister Wang loved to pay attention to his young son. If you want the full support of Prime Minister Wang and the Wang family, you must not turn against Wang Jin.
So, not only was he not angry, but he also said: "The Prime Minister is really lucky that Wang Sheren is so filial and considerate."
Prime Minister Wang sighed: "This son of mine may look docile, but he actually has a bad temper."
Then, with a serious face: "You don't listen to what I say now? Get out!"
Wang Jin had no choice but to get up and go out. Before leaving, he also dropped a few words: "Needless to say, I can guess the purpose of Prince Wu'an's visit. I advise the prince not to wade into muddy waters. When the emperor's funeral is over and the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be in peace. Go back to the vassal land and continue to be a happy and happy vassal king."
Of course Prince Wu'an couldn't listen to a word of these words. All he could think about was the throne, and he didn't take what Wang Jin, a young boy, said seriously at all.
After the door closed, Prince Wu'an even smiled at Prime Minister Wang and said: "Wang Silang is approaching his weak years, but he has not been infected with the officialdom. He has an open temper and an upright speech."
Prime Minister Wang protects his son the most, and usually thinks that his son is not good in this or that way. When he heard Prince Wu'an's sarcastic tone, he felt unhappy in his heart and said lightly: "His temperament means that he has my own father to protect him." , otherwise, I would have been beaten to death.”
Prince Wu’an is really not good at reading people’s faces. He actually answered the question: "The Prime Minister should take good care of his injuries and get well soon. The Prime Minister cannot be separated from the Liang Dynasty, and the Wang family must have the Prime Minister as the backbone. Wang Silang is still young and tender, and he cannot bear the heavy responsibility now!"
Prime Minister Wang: "..."
A thought suddenly flashed in Prime Minister Wang's mind. Given Prince Wu'an's temperament, how much benefit will it bring to the Wang family if he ascends the throne as emperor? Will Wang Jin be made prime minister in the future?
If there is no generous reward, why should the Wang family contribute to the king of Wu'an County?
Prince Wu'an realized something from Prime Minister Wang's searching eyes, and immediately said: "Prime Minister, you and I have known each other for decades, and we both know each other's temper. I am indeed a quick-tempered person, but as long as I promise We must do it.”
< br>"As long as Prime Minister Wang is willing to support me in my fight for the throne, after I ascend the throne, I will give the entire land south of the Yangtze River to the Wang family. Wang Sheren is young now, and in ten years or so, the position of Prime Minister Liang will be his."
There are only two things that Prime Minister Wang cares about most. One is the honor and wealth of the Wang family, and the other is the fame and future of the descendants.
The promise made by Prince Wu'an has indeed reached Prime Minister Wang's heart.
Prime Minister Wang did not respond immediately. He pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "In terms of bloodline, King Ping has the most advantage. In terms of youth and strength, King Huaiyang is better than the king of the county. There is also an ambitious Nanyang. With the princess at his side, the prince wants to fight for the throne and has many difficulties.”
The Prince of Wu'an County also spoke truthfully: "It is because the difficulties are too great that I came to ask the Prime Minister for support."
Prime Minister Wang thought about it for a long time and said: "Let me think about it for a while."
Without a flat refusal, there is room for negotiation.
Prince Wu'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief, whispered a few words to Prime Minister Wang, and then quietly opened the door and left. Wang Jin had been standing guard outside the door, and he didn't know how much he heard through the thick door panel.
The prince of Wu'an County specially smiled at Wang Jin to show his kindness.
Wang Jin's expression was indifferent, neither cold nor hot.
......
At five o'clock the next day, Wang Jin entered the mourning hall.
The funeral has been going on for a month, and now the ministers are kneeling during the day and resting at night. Only a few people actually stayed up late to keep vigil.
Jiang Shaohua slept for two hours at night. Probably because he didn't get enough sleep, his complexion was not as rosy as usual. Chang Ning Bo Cui Du stood by Jiang Shaohua's side, with a somewhat worried look in his eyes, but more of a feeling of distress. Not sure what he whispered, Jiang Shaohua shook his head slightly.
When a husband and wife are together, they have a tacit understanding that is difficult for others to get along with.
Wang Jin had something important to tell him, so he stepped forward and whispered: "I have something to tell the princess."
Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly.
Cui Du moved a few steps aside and turned his head considerately.
Wang Jin whispered quickly: "At midnight last night, Prince Wu'an came to see my father. I don't know what he said specifically."
Jiang Shaohua thanked him in a low voice: "I understand, thank you very much."
Then he added: "The King of Huaiyang went to see Zhang Shangshu last night."
The daughter of King Huaiyang, Jiang Yuehua, married Zhang Shangshu's son. Since we are in-laws, we naturally have some contacts. However, at this sensitive time, what would be the purpose of the Huaiyang King meeting Zhang Shangshu in the middle of the night?
Wang Jin frowned and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "My father is seriously injured and can't bear it, so Zhang Shangshu's mind became more active."
Zhang Shangshu is the backbone of the Prime Minister's Party. Now that Prime Minister Wang has fallen, Zhang Shangshu is ready to take action, apparently wanting to succeed Prime Minister Wang and become the next Prime Minister of Liang Dynasty.
Jiang Shaohua glanced at Wang Jin and said calmly: "This is just the beginning."
The succession of the throne was sometimes smooth, sometimes ups and downs, and sometimes accompanied by bloody events.
Emperor Taihe died suddenly, and Prince Ping happened to be in such a situation. It is completely normal for the vassal kings to have thoughts about the throne. Even among the courtiers, few supported the stupid eight-year-old Jiang Hao.
Thousands of miles of land and mountains, the supreme throne, who can be tempted by anyone who has the power to compete for it?
Wang Jin raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Shaohua. Jiang Shaohua's eyes seemed light and airy this time, and clearly contained a different sharpness than before.
A vague thought suddenly flashed through Wang Jin's mind.
This idea is too shocking!
Based on Wang Jin's affection and firm support for the princess, she was extremely shocked when she thought about this possibility.
Jiang Shaohua seemed not to notice the shock in Wang Jin's eyes: "No matter what, let's finish the emperor's funeral first. All other matters must be discussed and decided after the funeral."
Wang Jin took a deep breath: "The princess said yes."
......
In Jingyang Palace.
Empress Dowager Zheng was in a daze. After hearing the news reported by Eunuch Zhao, she immediately sobered up a lot. She gritted her teeth and cursed: "Prince Wu'an! Prince Huaiyang!"
"Your Majesty Even before they were buried, the two of them were already planning on taking the throne.”
"Bah! As long as the Ai family is still breathing, the two of them will never get what they want!"
For the courtiers, as long as the person sitting on the dragon chair is named Jiang, there is not much difference. For Empress Dowager Zheng, it was a world of difference.
This throne must belong to her grandson Jiang Hao, no one can get involved!
