"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law dares to ask again. Ten years ago...... The tragedy that happened in Lu Shilang's home...... Do you know the inside story? Also, how did Guo Hao, the third prince under Concubine Rong's knees, die? Can you talk to your son-in-law about this? Lin Jue asked softly.

The princess's face turned pale, and she shook her head again and again: "No, I don't know what these things are about. Although when I heard these things, I thought it might ...... It has something to do with that. But I don't dare to speculate, let alone inquire. Lin Jue, I have told you all the secrets I know, this time I will ask for Yourong, if you feel that you have to coerce her with the previous things, I am willing to listen to you. If the prince can't pass this level this time, what old feelings do I still have? I'm tired, I want to go back to my room to rest, Wei'er, can you help my mother go back to my room? Mother wants to sleep well, mother is too tired. ”

The princess stood up, her forehead frowning, her body shaking. Guo Caiwei hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Lin Jue got up to send him off, and the princess, accompanied by the little princess, left the boat hall and went back to the room.

It was twilight, and the light in the ship's hall had dimmed. The servant came in to hold the lamp and asked Lin Jue if he wanted to add wine to warm the food. Lin Jue waved his hand and got up and went out, and came to the aft deck to stand with his hands in his hands.

The sun had set, the sky was a solemn navy blue, and at the top of the western sky, the last red sunset was still brilliant. But this splendor is only for a moment, and the next moment it is gone.

The wind is blowing, and the hurricane along the coast should have landed and will soon be changing. The wind blowing from the south whistled the sails of the great ship, and the taut ropes hummed. Sail hunting, the speed of the big ship increases, the sound of water on both sides of the ship's side is loud, and the waves are churning on the trajectory of the big ship at the stern, and the momentum is breathtaking.

Lin Jue stood on the stern deck, looking at the four fields in the twilight, and his thoughts were uneasy. He had been standing there like this, knowing that it was dark, and then he slowly walked back to his quarters on the second floor of the ship.

The little princess didn't appease the princess until the first shift and returned to the room, but found Lin Jue sitting under the lamp. Guo Caiwei sat down beside Lin Jue and looked at Lin Jue in a daze.

"Mother-in-law is asleep?" Lin Jue asked softly.

The little county lord nodded and said, "I slept, my mother was drunk, and I vomited after returning to the room." ”

Lin Jue nodded, stretched out his hand to caress the little county lord's stomach, and said softly: "I'm sorry, at this time, I shouldn't let you worry about it." I'm sorry that you have to endure these things. ”

The little county lord smiled and said, "I'm not so delicate, and besides, you are also thinking about my father." Daddy...... He was impulsive and made a fuss. It's just that...... The facts that my mother said today are so amazing that I still find it unbelievable. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Yes, who would have thought that? However, this is true. Concubine Rong is far from being as weak as she looks, but she is a decisive person. It's incredible. ”

The little county lord said softly: "Green Dancing Girl...... It turned out to be a princess, which is higher than my status. ”

Lin Jue glanced at Guo Caiwei and said softly: "Wei'er doesn't have to think about it, Green Dance is just a little maid by my side, whether she is a princess or not, she is still her." Moreover, her identity cannot be revealed. But you, don't leave a trace. Treat her as she did yesterday. ”

Guo Caiwei nodded lightly, after learning Green Wu's true identity, her heart was indeed a little complicated. However, she knew that with Green Dance's temperament, she would probably not do anything about it. It's just that there's something strange in my heart.

"Vier, there's something I need to tell you. Although I know that it is not appropriate to tell you this at this time. But you and I are husband and wife, and we should not hide anything. In addition, this matter is about your father and brother, and I can't help but say it. Lin Jue took Guo Caiwei's hand and said softly.

Guo Caiwei saw what Lin Jue said solemnly, and held Lin Jue's hand with her palm and whispered: "Husband, what you say is, no matter what we face together, no matter what wind and rain, we will carry it together." Vile isn't the kind of person who can't do things. ”

Lin Jue smiled slightly: "That's natural, I will only discuss some things with you, because I know that you can withstand it." Others, on the other hand, may not be able to stand it. My Vile is the best person to talk to. ”

Guo Caiwei sneered and said, "The more you talk like this, the more nervous I become." It's like you're about to say something big. You don't have to beat around the bush, just tell me. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, I won't go around the bend." When Wei'er heard what your mother said about the past today, she must have been extremely surprised in her heart. So do I. But what surprised me the most was that your father actually came up with this plan back then, which made me feel the most unbelievable. That's what I can't figure out the most. How could your father, in his capacity, make such a ridiculous suggestion? Don't you think it's strange that Wei'er? ”

Guo Caiwei frowned and said: "Of course I think it's incredible, I said it before, is my father confused?" How is it possible to propose such a solution? But this is what my mother said herself, and I know that my mother will not tell nonsense, so this is indeed my father's idea. I don't understand why Daddy did that. ”

Lin Jue said softly: "Yes, it's weird, isn't it?" So I thought about it for a long time, and I seemed to have found the answer. ”

Guo Caiwei's eyes widened and said, "You found the answer?" Tell me about it? ”

Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "I don't know if my answer is right or not, I'm afraid that saying it will make people feel sensational." But apart from this answer, I don't know how to explain my father-in-law's actions back then. So I want to tell you, discuss it with you, let you be judged. ”

Guo Caiwei said: "You say, I'll listen." ”

Lin Jue slowly got up and paced around the room. After a while, he stood at the window, looked at the dark and dreary darkness outside, and said, "Wei'er, the power struggle among the royal family is very cruel, and it has happened in all dynasties. The cruelty of the palace changes is often more ferocious and tragic than the battles in the outer world. Not to mention, think about the Li Tang Dynasty, the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin killed his brother and younger brother and seized the throne. Everybody knows that. ”

Guo Caiwei frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Jue didn't answer directly, and continued softly: "Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, just the matter itself, it shows how cruel and ruthless the struggle for imperial power is. You know, that high position represents the power that owns everything. That's something worth taking any risk, anything unthinkable can be done for that position. So, as long as you figure this out, anything that feels incredible is a no-brainer. Do you understand what I'm saying, Vier? ”

Guo Caiwei was already smart, and when she heard this, she exclaimed: "What does the husband mean...... What does my dad mean by this? This...... I don't understand. ”

Lin Jue turned around, looked at Guo Caiwei quietly and said, "Let's make a hypothesis." If Concubine Rong's son Guo Hao hadn't died, he would have been eighteen years old by now. He is the prince, his mother is the imperial concubine, and behind him stands the old queen mother. In your opinion, is there any possibility for him to become the crown prince? ”

Guo Caiwei frowned and said, "Of course it's possible." Concubine Mei's son, King Huai, has the power to compete, let alone Concubine Rong's son? To some extent, he has a better chance than King Huai. Although King Huai has Lu Xiang behind, he is still worse than the Queen Mother. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's right. I think so too. If Guo Hao is alive, he has a better chance among the three princes. Because the queen mother has the ability to influence the emperor. That's the problem. ”

Guo Caiwei bit her lower lip and said, "But Guo Hao is dead after all, what is the point of this assumption?" ”

Lin Jue said to himself: "Wei'er, I'll ask you again." Do your father and your brother and father have the right to take the throne? ”

Guo Caiwei said in horror: "Why do you ask this?" ”

Lin Jue said: "You and I are just discussing this matter in front of us, and you only answer me." ”

Guo Caiwei thought for a while and said: "It stands to reason that my father and brother are also descendants of the emperor and the blood of the emperor. Naturally, the qualifications are there. It's just that...... As you know, it's not about qualifications. The emperor is the eldest brother, and his accession to the throne is in accordance with the ancestral system. Unless it's ...... That vein is broken, and my father and brother can ......"

Lin Jue patted the window edge, nodded and said, "That's right, the problem is here." Although the prince and the little prince are qualified, the chances of getting on the throne are very small, almost equivalent to nothing. The emperor took every precaution against the prince, which was to strangle all this last bit of possibility. In the succession to the throne, there is no brotherly affection, only naked self-interest. The reason why your father and brother's situation are embarrassing is actually due to this deep-seated subtle reason. ”

The little county lord nodded in agreement.

Lin Jue continued softly: "Then think about it from a different angle. If your father and brother want to get their hands on the throne, what can they do? All I can think of is a rebellion and a blatant struggle for the throne. Just like the princes of all dynasties, the best opportunity is lost, and others sit on the throne, so they can only meet each other by force. However, this method is unrealistic, in my Great Zhou, it is very difficult to support the army and rebel, because the prince has no military power, and the local military power is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it is difficult to have a situation of self-respect for the army. This path doesn't work, so what other way can you get the throne? ”

Guo Caiwei glared at Lin Jue, her husband actually openly talked to him about how to seize the throne, which was simply crazy. Luckily, it was on my own boat, surrounded by the lake. Otherwise, Guo Caiwei would rush up and cover Lin Jue's mouth and tell him to stop talking about it. Is this the kind of thing to be talked about?

"Your father, my father-in-law has found a different way to get the throne. I wonder why he made such an unbelievable suggestion, ignoring the purity of the royal blood. Later I figured it out. That's what he wants. Wei'er, think about it, if Guo Hao is alive, he is the one who has the best chance of getting the throne. If Guo Hao inherited the throne, what would be the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Vacate the cage for birds, and by that time the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually no longer the world of the Guo family, but the world of foreign surnames. Everyone was kept in the dark, and only a limited number of people knew the secret. And the prince is one of those who know. At that time, this is the biggest handle in the hands of the prince. He can do anything with this handle. He could use this to coerce the new emperor and seek power. He can coerce that fake Emperor Chan to go to your father and brother, and he can even make the matter public and raise the banner against you. At that time, raising the flag and rebelling will definitely succeed, because the emperor on the throne is not surnamed Guo, so naturally he will not be supported. In short, he had a myriad of ways to do it. At that time, the initiative was in the hands of the prince, and he could do whatever he wanted. The final result is inevitably that the throne changes hands, and your family's Liang Wangfu will become unified. ”
