Zhang Xiaowu stood up in front of the public and said solemnly: "Mr. Ruan's words are worth ten years of reading. We and other military officers are all old men, and we are not as far-sighted as Mr. Ruan. It is a pity that the prince does not use Mr. Ruan in high regard. He is only listed as a commander in the army.
Mr. Li will be retaliated against in the future. If Mr. believes in me, I will believe in our gang of bastards.
Man, as long as Mr. Ruan is in our army, we will keep Mr. Ruan safe. Mr. Ruan's talents should not be left in the dust, how can a pearl be abandoned in the wild? Although Mucheng is small, I am only a fourth-grade military commander.
, but the right commander of the garrison army is waiting for you. I also ask Mr. Ruan not to abandon him just because he is small."
The civil service titles of the generals of the Forbidden Army are the third rank military advisor, the third rank long history, the fourth rank Qian Shi, the rank joining the army, the fifth rank Sima, the fifth rank recorder, the sixth rank secretary, and the rank secretary. Although Ruan Qingwen was deeply loved by Gu Yong
reused, but in the Qinglong Legion, he is just a small
Ruan Qingwen was deeply touched that the fifth-grade Army Sima could be reused in Mucheng. He stood up and bowed and said: "Mengcheng Lord will not give up, how can Ruan dare to look down on him? Ruan has been in the army for many years and is good at calculating statistics. In the future, he will do his best to help Mucheng."
Make good military expenditure calculations."
Others stood up to congratulate one after another. Zhang Xiaowu smiled and asked: "Ruan Sima is so humble. I think you are not only good at calculating money, but also good at strategy. Ruan Sima, from what you have seen, after the chaos in Longdu, who can be the emperor?"
"
Hu Li shouted: "Yes, let's pay our respects to who will be the emperor in the future." Xiao Kai gave him an elbow and blamed him for talking nonsense. Hu Li giggled. Shen Lindong said: "Ruan Sima once served as the prince.
Those who work around us naturally know more than us, so among the royal family, who else are in Longdu City now?"
Ruan Qingwen stood up and said: "It is normal for you to be in the north of Saibei for a long time and not know what is going on in the palace. I will tell everyone about the royal family and the princes." Everyone stretched their necks in a hurry, curious about the affairs of the royal family. Zhang Xiaowu also took care of Ruan
Qingwen stood in the center and asked Wang Yijin to move
A stool was placed in the center. Ruan Qingwen learned that soldiers did not like meaningless humility, so he walked over and sat in the middle and told everyone: "The late Emperor Tai Gan gave birth to a total of fifteen sons and three daughters, but only eight sons survived.
Both the prince and the prince died, but the three princesses also survived."
Hu Li laughed softly and said: "Only eleven of the eighteen children survived. Are all these imperial doctors idiots?"
"It would be better to ask the military doctor to go to Tai Hospital." Zu Gongmao said.
Shen Lindong said: "How do you know that the person died of illness or maybe was killed?"
Ruan Qingwen nodded, smiled, and said loudly: "Yes, the seven princes I mentioned are all princes who have not grown up safely. As for the beautiful concubines in the palace who had miscarriages, they are not included. These seven princes who died in infancy were either accidents,
Or it was a sudden illness. In the palace, if a little palace maid spoiled the emperor's dragon seed, she would probably get disaster instead of favor.
I know a story about a palace candidate who suddenly gained the late emperor's favor. Soon after, the eunuchs (eunuchs) discovered that the pregnant palace candidate's appearance had become extremely ugly within a few days. She died of illness soon after, and everyone thought that
It was a serious disease for this woman. But Military Master Gu told me that this woman had been poisoned by someone. Her stomach was full of maggots. The maggots sucked her blood and sucked her alive into a withered bone. In the end, she
They starved to death."
Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning, how cruel is this in the palace? This is not a palace, it is simply hell.
Ruan Qingwen added: "The eight surviving princes of Emperor Taiqian are the eldest prince Xuanyuan Zizhi, the second prince Xuanyuan Zixing, the third prince Xuanyuan Zixun, the fourth prince Xuanyuan Zijin, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Zixiao, and the sixth prince Xuanyuan. Zi Shang, the seventh prince Xuanyuan Zi Dong, the ninth prince Xuanyuan Zi Chi."
"Let's talk about the eldest prince Xuanyuan Zizhi first. When the late emperor was a prince in his early years, he was also a romantic figure. One day when he was traveling in the capital, he fell in love with the wife of a family and snatched her away. He was also afraid that the family would cause trouble, so the late emperor sent someone The whole family was silenced. Later, the late emperor threatened the woman and her whole family, so the woman had no choice but to obey him and gave birth to her first son, Xuanyuan Zizhi. Later, the woman somehow knew that her husband's entire family had been killed. Later, he hanged himself in grief and anger, so that Xuanyuan Zizhi had lost his mother since he was a child. The eldest prince came from a humble background and had no mother to protect him. He was raised by some palace maids and eunuchs. Naturally, he had no chance to compete for the position of heir apparent. The late emperor Of course, he didn't want to see his son, so he sent him away early. Now the eldest prince is serving as the third-rank Jiangdu Marquis in Yangzhou. I heard that the eldest prince is now a fat man weighing 500 kilograms. It is very difficult to walk. He can even go out for a ride. Each carriage requires four horses to pull it. Because of his obesity, Xuanyuan Zizhi has never had any descendants, so there is no possibility of taking over the throne."
Everyone gestured to see how much five hundred kilograms weighed. Everyone looked at Bai Hao. After all, Bai Hao was the tallest among them. Bai Hao said angrily: "What do you think I do? I only weigh two hundred and forty kilograms." , he is half as tall as the eldest prince." Everyone swallowed and spit. Bai Hao, a strong man, is half the eldest prince. Moreover, Bai Hao is as tall as an iron tower, so how fat does the eldest prince have to be?
Ruan Qingwen continued: "From ancient times to the present, a prince without a queen cannot be crown prince, so the eldest prince Xuanyuan Zizhi and the seventh prince Xuanyuan Zidong have no children even though they are adults, so they lose the possibility of competing for the throne.
The second prince, Xuanyuan Zixing, gave birth to four daughters. He was granted the title of vassal of Yizhou early and was appointed as the second-rank Marquis of Chengdu. In addition, let me tell you why the second prince was vassaled so early. Do you know who the mother of the second prince is? His mother Concubine De was the most favored woman by Emperor Taiqian twenty years ago. However, Concubine De's brother participated in Prince Ning's rebellion twenty years ago. As a result, the whole family was executed and Concubine De was also thrown into the cold palace. The second prince When he grew up, he begged Emperor Taiqian to take his mother to the prince's palace to support him. Although the two princes wanted to fulfill their filial piety, this move broke the rules of the palace and made the late emperor furious, so he drove him to Yizhou to become a vassal. Already."
"The royal family is ruthless." Zhang Xiaowu sighed.
Ruan Qingwen smiled bitterly and said: "To the emperor, wives, concubines and children are just ministers. The late emperor's favorite was the third prince, that is, the deposed prince Xuanyuan Zixun. The third prince had the same appearance as the late emperor since he was a child, and the third prince had the same appearance as the late emperor since he was a child. The prince's biological mother, the good concubine, was also a rare virtuous concubine in the palace. The late emperor originally intended to make the good concubine the queen. This good concubine was also the cousin of Gu Junshi. The men and women of the Gu family had always been handsome and beautiful, and they were extremely favored by the late emperor. The good concubine was born The third prince and the thirteenth prince, but one time during an autumn hunt, the holy driver was disturbed, and the thirteenth prince was trampled to death by a frightened horse. The good concubine witnessed her son being trampled to death, so she fell ill and died early. The reason why the late emperor doted on the third prince was probably because when the horse was frightened, everyone only tried to save the emperor, which resulted in the tragic death of the thirteenth prince.
Let’s talk about the fourth prince Xuanyuan Zijin. He has been timid and cowardly since he was a child. His mother, Concubine Zhuang, is also the most cowardly among the imperial concubines. Therefore, the two of them have no status in the royal family’s battle, and they have no ability to protect themselves.
.But perhaps because of his cowardly nature, he lived the most peaceful life in this cruel battle between the crown princes."
Sometimes being weak is also a kind of protection. In the eyes of others, weak people disdain to be opponents. The fourth prince also lives precisely because of being weak, which is an irony of the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.
