Chapter 1124 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 50
It would be fine if Zhen Yuandao and Concubine Shu simply took advantage of Zhen Ying's appearance that resembled Empress Chunyuan, but the result also said that Concubine Shu saw through that Fatty Ju was not loved by his parents, so he was particularly eager for parental love. She must like a child who is deeply loved by his parents, so Zhen Yuandao chose to do all kinds of careful things to educate Zhen Ying.
Concubine Shu is also very interesting, especially in her way of judging people. Perhaps she was the first person in the entire harem to see that Big Fat Orange had the greatest possibility of succeeding to the throne, so she very accurately chose Zhen Daying, who resembled Empress Chunyuan, and started planning early.
But for Big Fat Orange, this plan was too disgusting, and it made him feel fearful. He was determined not to keep Concubine Shu and her son.
Some things cannot be made public. Big Fat Orange sorted out the information obtained from the investigation of the Sticking Rod Department and brought up the plan of Concubine Shu and her son to usurp the throne. He invited the royal family headed by Prince Heng to discuss how to deal with Concubine Shu and her son.
Big Fat Ju directly showed the selected confessions to Prince Heng. Prince Heng guessed from the beginning that something big might have happened again. Thinking of the demotion of Zhen Yuandao in the previous dynasty and the demotion of Zhen Da Ying in the harem, he was still wondering what extraordinary thing Big Fat Ju had discovered. As a result, after taking a look at the information, he found that it was some bizarre behavior between Concubine Shu and Prince Guo, mother and son!
Prince Heng simply couldn't believe what he saw, and handed the thing in his hand to the seventh prince Chun beside him with an expression of disbelief. The twelfth prince Li was really curious about what was written on it, so he stretched his neck and leaned on Prince Chun's shoulder to take a look.
The remaining fifteenth brother, the adopted Prince Zhuang, the sixteenth brother, Prince Yu, and the twenty-first brother, Beile Shen, are relatively young and not close to their older brothers, especially in front of Big Fatty Ju. They dare not do anything out of the ordinary. They are extremely curious in their hearts, but they can only suppress their curiosity.
After the three elder princes finished reading a series of confessions, Prince Heng laughed and said, "In the past, I only knew that the Seventeenth Prince was obsessed with landscapes and music, and was known as a wealthy and idle man. He also wanted to marry a wife who understood him, but I didn't know that he had the ambition to aspire to the throne!"
The three little ones gathered together to finish looking at the things, and they couldn't help but all made an expression like [subway, old man, looking at mobile phone.jpg].
"Ah this——"
Prince Lu tried to hold back his laughter but still couldn't help laughing out loud. "In his later years, the old man liked his youngest son the most because he was smart and posed no threat to him. It just so happened that Concubine Shu was favored, so the old man loved the Seventeenth Son for a little longer. But no matter what, the throne will never go to the Seventeenth Son, a man of Baiyi blood!"
Prince Zhuang and Prince Yu had the best experience of this. Their biological mother was the mother of the Eighteenth Prince, who died young on the grassland and was implicated in the dethronement of the Crown Prince. The previous emperor's concubine was a Han woman from Jiangnan, so even though she gave birth to three sons and was second only to Concubine Shu in favor, she could only get a concubine position that was not worthy of her in name.
So, in the later years of the late emperor, Concubine Shu and her son were indeed very favored, but the late emperor was definitely not the kind of person who would be distracted by emotions and disregard the country and the people.
Prince Heng had the most to say about this: "I was only raised by the Queen Mother, so the late Emperor excluded me from the throne early on, even though my mother's family is a legitimate Manchu and there are royal daughters marrying into my family."
Prince Chun was born with a disability, so he had less chance of inheriting the throne than others. But in fact, his rank was far ahead of Prince Guo. "Even if I was born with a disability, I can still be ranked first among all of you present, below the Emperor."
Big Fat Orange nodded. Prince Heng got it because of Mongolia, Prince Lu also got it because of Mongolia, and the remaining young princes and nobles got it because of the Han blood from their mothers.
Prince Lu was also teasing. He looked at his younger brothers and couldn't help laughing, "Except for the older ones like us, among the younger brothers, you guys will have to take your turns first before it's your turn, Seventeenth Brother."
It is true that the Han people are also a foreign race to the Manchus, but one must first consider the number of the Han people. The Baiyi people are complete barbarians. Moreover, the Baiyi people were completely defeated and became prisoners of war during the Three Feudatories Rebellion. With such a background, how could Prince Guo have the possibility of aspiring to the throne!
Prince Heng bowed and said to Big Fat Orange, "Whatever the emperor wants to do, just do it. After all, Concubine Shu and her son have wild ideas and are really planning to cause chaos in the country. We must not let them off easily."
Prince Chun also meant this. "That Concubine Shu is so sinister that she actually came up with the idea of occupying the magpie's nest. I really don't know what to say."
Prince Lu said with great interest, "The Emperor did have some affection for Concubine Zhen in the past. Even if Concubine Shu and her son did it on purpose, how could they ensure that no one would find out if they caused chaos in the harem?"
It was time for Big Fat Orange to say something. "I had long suspected that the late emperor must have left some cards for Concubine Shu and her son. Now it seems that Concubine Shu and her son really have a group of people that we don't know about."
Prince Heng sneered, "Even if the late emperor really left some people to help Concubine Shu and her son, as long as we cut off their financial resources, we don't have to dig out these people."
Prince Lu quickly asked for permission: "Your Majesty, Fourth Brother, why don't you let me handle this matter? I will definitely do it beautifully for you!"
Prince Heng and Prince Chun looked at Prince Lu who had suddenly become active, but didn't say anything. Their biological mother had already moved out of the palace and was living in their house in honor, and Prince Lu really needed an opportunity to make a contribution.
As for the young princes and nobles below, they had little room to speak. It was already great that they could come and listen to the discussion today.
Prince Guo used to like traveling around, but according to the rules of this dynasty, not only royal family members but even ministers in the capital cannot leave the capital at will. So when Big Fat Orange really wanted to investigate Prince Guo, he really had to pull out a handful of his braids.
In order to win over Lady Zhen, Concubine Shu and her son had used the manpower left by the previous emperor, which naturally left a lot of traces. Prince Lu only focused on the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and discovered a lot of clues. With the secret cooperation of the concubines in Jiang Xinxin's palace, the few manpower in the hands of Concubine Shu and her son were all dug out by Prince Lu in a short time.
It is true that those people were initially loyal to the late emperor and are now loyal to Prince Guo, but Prince Guo's attempt to usurp the throne and bring shame to the royal family, and even his intention to steal the country, cannot be tolerated by most people, so their defection further accelerated the downfall of Prince Guo and his mother.
